I'm passionate about real estate and how utilizing this asset class can enable me to build generational wealth and retire early.

I'm an asset-based (hard money) lender from Atlanta with an extensive 15-yr background in residential and commercial real estate looking to learn more from the BP community and how I can help those that need investment financing. 

You can still do a 1031 exchange foreign to foreign asset.  

But, it’s not a business because even if successful, you don’t own the underlying asset, so unless you grow very large you have nothing to sell.  

VS Real Estate, nobody controls or makes a forced sale of your assets because there "fearful" what may happen.

Lastly, I am extremely open to working with investors, or obtaining private funds as well. 

I am hoping to be an asset to experienced investors, with the intention of learning as much as I can, so that I can start building a portfolio of my own.

What did the process look like for you to obtain that LOC?

The one's that act as if the revenue is the reason we buy, not the asset itself. 

The date you are able to take depreciation is when the property is ready for renting (i.e. advertising for rent or obtaining a certificate of occupancy).
