Hope to hear a little more about your management expertise, if I can be of any help please don't be a stranger.Happy Investing!

I have zero REI experience as of yet and am working to open up more time to devote to REI.Just to give you some brief background info on myself: I am a mechanical engineer and my main expertise is project management.Looking forward to connecting.

This is not really my area of expertise - but also know what is considered maintenance and can be deducted this year and what is an improvement and can be depreciated over time.

There are checkbook models that give you direct control but they represent gray areas in IRS law. 4.

However, i am a Canadian and do not live in the USA but i was enticed by the Co-wholesaler JV model and recently partnered with two Wholesalers in Jacksonville Florida.This is no problem.

Ask them about there business model, ask if they do there own marketing?

@Hector Perez The way I have been doing is through presentations.My very first time in 2010 I raised $50k was at the REIA meeting where I represented my company, our business model, mission statement, investment opportunities (deals) that I have and in the pipeline, estimated profits shown in numbers backed by pictures of the property and lastly explain why we need to borrow and ROI.From there, one thing leads to another and the word got out.

I am willing to contribute what I know and my expertise as well.

I gave up my expertise and he gave up his and we worked side by side splitting everything.

The chances of a person applying to my house showing up in that database (good or bad) would be pretty slim.I personally think that site has a bad business model...
