Family members are allowed tax-free gifts and that can come in many forms, just talk with your CPA and you will should be able to structure it without any tax burden.

@Chris Tessmann - I assume you had to complete a form for them for redemption?

Invest the difference in some form of equities and tbills.

You may make $50k on a flip but have to wait 6 months from list. ( in specific areas - not all of CLE)As a full time investor turn time is hyper important for me to turn my properties and money over as many times as possible in a year.Another example is are you a flipper or a renter.

I would suggest coming to some investing meet ups and just start talking to others and form a plan based off of that.

I think this perspective is what ultimately led to the right program for me that aligned with my personal and professional goals.

I like to think I have done ok. for me finding properties is sales - managing real estate and growing your company requires problem solving. 

Please keep those posts in the Classifieds forum.Need a spreadsheet or form?

Sorry, I guess it's a little difficult for me to describe since I'm not a financial expert familiar with the terminology.
