Carolina is rightThere are lot of benefits to being a licensed agent/investor.

And you get the benefit of having 50 past ones to catch up on.

The license will benefit you once you've built a network and have the capital and credit to buy properties.

A good GC should also be almost cost neutral but provide the benefits of extensive project management experience.If you feel your project management skills are able to handle project, I would say go for it.

Trey your on the right track but you should be able to reap the benefits and limit your liability as well.In CA, we have this form below that basically tells a seller that you are not representing them and they should seek legal,tax,etc. counsel if they need it.http://www.wrightrealtors.com/pdf/non_agency.pdfThe good thing about TX, is that the laws are much different and the disclosure requirements are much less.

Hello,I am in the very early stages of talking to a couple of different property owners about the possibility of buying their existing rental properties and them carrying part of the total purchase price as a 'second note' (assuming other lenders would only want to lend in the first position.These properties range from 6 to 8 units owned free and clear, a 6 unit with about a 40% LTV loan on it, and some single families that range from free and clear to 80% LTV loans.These could be done in a SDIRA, or not, depending on the benefits to each way.

In recent years Congress enacted two amendments to Section 121 in order to limit the benefits of Section 121 when the property has been used as a rental.First, if you acquire property in a 1031 exchange and then convert it to your primary residence, you must own it at least five years before being eligible for the Section 121 exclusion.Second, the amount of gain that you can exclude will be reduced to the extent that the house was used for something other than a primary residence during the period of ownership.
