I have been working as a developer for a prominent development firm working on large scale projects nationally as well as in Atlanta and am now looking to do some investment on the side.While I have a lot of strategic and market knowledge I am looking to get a better feel for creating a real estate team (contractor and property manager would be the first two needed) as well as ideas on sourcing deals (I have not seen many attractive deals on MLS in quite a while).Anyways, just saying hello and look forward to connecting with everyone. 

I think perhaps some CE courses on strategic offers should be in your future.  

Also, through my strategic partners, I have access to a strong funding source that provides Commercial and Residential Loans: 30-year / 7% Fixed with 30%-40% down-payment.

You can give Tabitha a call at Wiley Insurance Agency in Madison, AlabamaI have policies for my rental units through American Strategic, in Tampa, Florida. 

It could be for a number of varying reasons that don't have anything to do with you; they may not have anyone on staff to underwrite them, the asset may not meet with their strategic goals, or something else. 

I think planning strategically will be the key.

The contract will initially be a strategic partnership that will translate into 50/50 ownership of a Series LLC that my Master LLC controls.

Hi Michael, I laud your strategic thinking AND acting!!!   

Unless you're looking for strategic counsel.  

I will no longer have the tax advantages of having mortgages at that point, but I have another tax strategy in place for that time whereby I can take the standard deduction and get in under the 0% tax bracket for passive income ... if I do this strategically, I figure I can pull in ~$95k/yr tax free, and with no mortgages to pay for that is good livin' in my book.
