Top of that the Government knew about it and I'm assuming they don't want to bother because of the treatment(free vacation, phone service, private jet, yacht cruise, and money of course) they have been receiving by these corporations...lol...crazy.

We have attended a seminar on purchasing houses in distress and are going on the MrLandloard cruise this February.

I attended The Real Estate Guys annual Investor Summit at Sea, a week long cruise with a star-studded cast of pros across multiple facets (in 2012 the entire Rich Dad team of Advisors as well as Robert & Kim were guest faculty - it was sick).

Sometimes, my partner and I have meetings over dinner to talk business. http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc512.html Directly-Related Test and Associated Test: http://www.irs.gov/publications/p463/ch02.html#en_US_2013_publink100033852 You can even write off a cruise that included a RE-related education.

I guess you might say I know enough to know I have a lot to learn.Since I'm, ahem, middle aged, my goal is to acquire another 5 or 6 multi-family properties to provide income in my retirement years.I enjoy cruising the MLS listings and running the multi-family listings through my spread sheet to see if they will cash flow and I keep a record of all sold deals so I can see how much other investors are paying for the properties I'm interested in, build a database, and watch the market trends.My first 2 deals were conventional (20% down, 80% mortgage from a bank), but I'm intrigued by other methods of acquiring properties and I'd like to get one more property before the market turns up too much more but I don't have the capital (I'm in saving mode) to purchase it the conventional way.Any ideas?

Small ball but a tenant to cover the NNN would be the goal and it would be cruise control additional income with appreciation potential.

This will be a test run and he'll do much of the work on my addition and the lot splits while I'm on a 40 day cruise beginning 4-11.

A 37 night cruise starting Friday will be my "writers office".

I still have a full time corporate job, I am also a residential real estate agent, and a dad, husband etc. so putting rental properties on cruise control with a good property management company works well for me.

Thanks so much in advance for taking the time to read and even more so if you post.THE TOWNThis town is a booming natural resource town, a lot of industry moving in, massively high demand for housing (They even brought a cruise ship into this place to house some of the workers as housing is so scarce).THE PROPERTYThis place is a bit of a nightmare like stuff you see on the shows except nobody has been paid to make this place look so disheveled.
