You're welcome - I've never worked with Ines, but know her from other Realtor social channels.

JV projects: he is open to them but there is a lot of shady people out there and he wants to know how to efficiently do his due diligence and not give his money to the first person that comes along (here or outside CA). completing the picture: - he cannot invest 100% of it: bc he works on project commission base jobs (consultant for social media marketing)- People do owe him money: and he will get about 20k more from it in March and April: - In addition he will save about $30k more by the summer (June) from wages after expenses. - Only debt: car payment (about 15k left on loan) and credit card debt ($6k) : other than that no debt. - 1099 : He is now earning at least $100k per year and fico over 750***********I know the advise I will give him, but I thought it would be fun to hear what you have to say about it!

Make sure she has husband's basic info, like social security number when she calls. 

Do I still have to file a SS form C-3 for the year separately or will it all come out when I file my home business 1040. 

I have several clients set up that way in Ohio.If you’re still stuck shoot me a PM with what city / state your in and I can find somebody from one of my social media groups to get it set up for you.

I discovered a company called SoFi (social finance).

ya know, maybe that guy was a jerk, or maybe he had a drink, or just has no social skills. 

I do Have an  E2 Investor Visa in process, which I'm told will make things easier as i can then obtain a US social security number.

I had spent the first few years of my professional life in social services and realized one day that if I wanted to continue in that field, I had better figure something out for my retirement.  

You also need to drive traffic to said websites to generate buyer and seller leads.To drive traffic to your site that collects buyer leads - sharing knowledge on area social media sites like facebook groups and Bigger Pockets (hey guys click on my face to the side to find my website and then sign up as a buyer on my site), gets you buyer leads - not hard to generate buyer leads at all.To get sellers you want to drive traffic to that site - I do so by optimizing my page with a lot of words that motivated sellers would search for in addition to my city - in your case and in my case - Raytown and Kansas City and all the other cities where I might buy - I have a page set up on my site for each specific city I buy in so Google can find it.
