Hey @Inigo Alonso Gago, I hope you are finding success in my home state of Minnesota.Obviously govenment-backed loans make real estate operations more profitable in the US, but if no profits were possible in Spain the entire rental market would collapse.

@Tina Kapur—First and foremost, you can NOT deny a tenant because of a voucher—that's a big no-no here in Chicago...now, of course, you can deny the tenant for other reasons like credit score, income, etc.We usually do 2.5X income w/ a 600+ credit score in the nw side of the city.Section 8 has its pros and cons like anything else...the check shows up EVERY FIRST of the month like clockwork, but additional paperwork and CHA inspections are required.

I believe the answer is no because there would be different taxpayers on the title but any thoughts?

You can take courses offered by the CCIM Institute even if aren't a real estate broker and have no interest in the CCIM designation.

Unlike a SBLOC I mentioned above, the money you take out as a loan from a 401k is no longer invested in the stock (or bond) market.

no, not on this deal

Yes, no PMC can manage your properties like you, but why do they have to?

If there is no real estate agent involve we provide the 2% discount back to our customers or we are happy to pay the buyers broker such fee.

For example: I sell a $200,000 condo with no mortgage debt on it.

I know it sounds weird but Sellers want no knowledge and Buyers want all the knowledge.
