I just do not have the time...I just need to know what to do next...My motivation now comes in mood swings.

If you can swing a deal, great.

Hey everyone,Trying to generate some ideas for a friend of mine, basically he is wanting to find a job that has night shifts that he can use to save additional money for real estate.Perhaps something that requires some certification / training and or a trade would be an option.

Just because foreclosure is imminent does not mean a note trade will follow since in certain situations the loss can be minimized or completely avoided through foreclosure with no note sale.

Also, duplexes/triplexes are generally in worse neighborhoods, so it can sometimes be a trade-off for cash-flow to have to deal with thugs.

so your name should not state or imply that you are a dealer like:Day Trading Real Estate LLCBryan's Buying & Selling Real Estate LLCBryan's Flipping Homes LLC.Another thing that happens is that the nature of your business might change and now the specific name you pick does not apply likeRehabbing Chicago LLCThen you stop rehabbing or stop working in Chicago, once you move to Milwaukee or even Skokie and only do rentals the name Rehabbing Chicago doesn't make sense any more and will confuse people.I'm not as bothered by this one but have seen people that have names that don't quite fit or don't fit yet like:Worldwide Real Estate LLCGlobal Real Estate LLC Transcontinental Real Estate LLCActually met a couple of people with names like those who didn't own any real estate.

I didn't get any confidence that China is going to overtake us any time soon or that there is a need to rush and buy their currency.The debate about currency comes up every week on this board and we still have had no credible evidence that wild currency swings are imminent IMO.

ALTA is a trade organization that most title companies are not a part of.Secondly, as far as I could find, ALTA does not specify that you can not do a double/simultaneous closing.In their Uniform General Closing Instructions, they do reference a simultaneous closing situation in Paragraphs J.1.a.i and K.4.a.i as a "double escrow, double closing, flip sale, pass through, or equity skimming" transaction, and they only stipulate that you can not move forward without full disclosure of the situation to and authorization from the buyer's lender.In a wholesaling situation that would most likely be a hard money lender or a commercial lender, and neither one of them will care.

They really do not screen their trades men that well, they just look for criminal stuff.

Just went to boot camp graduation at Great Lakes a couple weeks ago. 900 new recruits every Friday, quite a ceremony.If you can swing it, buying a house at every duty station, then keeping the house and renting when the orders come, makes a nice supplemental retirement plan.I know several military that have houses scattered across the country.One year I was at Wright Pat in November, and it was the coldest Nov I can remember.
