In my situation if I’m earning $18,000 in cash flow from a property my tax benefits are offsetting at least that amount and I’m still paying $0 in taxes so the real estate scenario is attractive to me.

I wouldn't let our current situation necessarily get in the way of a great opportunity for you. 

I was looking for more of a meetup type situation with some like minded people, freely sharing information.

A good securities law attorney will be able to advise you, on your specific situation.

A knowledgeable attorney can advise here.Create a solid operating agreement: Since you own the condo with a friend, a clear operating agreement is essential to outline responsibilities, decision-making, and profit-sharing for the LLC.To save on costs:Look for real estate attorneys who specialize in investment properties and might offer package deals for the retitling, operating agreement, and filing the LLC.Shop around for title companies that can handle the transfer smoothly and provide competitive rates.Research DIY options for setting up the LLC if your situation is straightforward, though I’d still recommend a lawyer for the transfer process itself.Good luck with the process!

We even had to do a lease back to them while the carport situation was being finalized.There is definitely some luck involved with every deal, but I think as investors we can create our own luck as well based on knowledge and experience.  

Keep us posted on how that situation goes for you.

Step back, take in the situation around you, what peg's do you have, what hole sis there, what is there that CAN be connected. 

If your medical condition qualifies as a disability and your current living situation isn't suitable, you might have grounds to break your lease without penalty.'

We give users the ability to edit a post for 10 minutes after posting for those situations where you say something that you realize upon review needs a tweak.
