I'm not saying the next light bulb won't be invented (it took 10,000 tries) but plan on a long slog to make it happen in real estate.We and our Joint Venture partners use a fairly sophisticated spreadsheet with a lot of automatically input variables and at the end of the day, it is still experience and second guessing the market that works best.

Hey Greg, we are able to ACH owners directly with disbursements.

Hello all,I am trying to determine what I can contribute to a potential joint venture involving myself, another investor, and a builder.

They can pay with cash, ACH, or credit card.

If I create an LLC, can I still deduct rental depreciation from our joint W2 income?

LLC, personal, personal guarantee, jointly, etc. 

You must buy in the same “tax name” as you sell  if you’re married filing jointly I’m pretty sure you can’t do a 1031 on just “your half”Ps.

If income, or credit is an issue, Learn and get good at something related to real estate and then eventually you can add value to an investor and potentially do a joint venture.

I decided to go with Innago property management software as it's basically free for both tenants and landlords ($2/payment to process ACH payments, which either tenant or landlord can pay.) 

Our son is turning 25 and is already in the workforce.. we have jointly prequalified ourselves for a real estate purchase up to 500k, I think we will try and pick up a beginner property... our daughter is 22 and is still finishing up college... the story will continue!!
