I began my experience with Real Estate by connecting and discussing career paths with a variety of professionals from a CBRE broker, an alumni in wholesaling, and local investors.

It also helps to build up a variety of team players for your future endeavors by checking out the company page here on Bigger Pockets to hook up with a few professionals in the area you need team support in.

If you like personal finance podcasts, I would recommend the new BiggerPockets Money podcast, as well as Radical Personal Finance (some of his episodes can be very long and drawn out, but there is such a variety of topics covered).

The thinking is wealthier clients tend to be more experienced with a variety of investments and have investment "savvy", can understand risk and absorb losses easier and can understand these complex investments better.  

I'm into fix and flips or BRRRR but enjoy working with a variety of investors. 

Maybe this is the case in Las Vegas, but across the country people are using HML in a variety of ways to finance first deals. 

This give the independent agent a huge variety of companies to choose from, finding the best fit for your needs. 

If it's considered to be a community property - there is no issue whatsoever with the exchange, as long as the trust you're setting is of a "grantor's trust" variety - another question to ask the lawyer.Even if it's a separate property, I do not see any issue with the exchange, because in the eyes of the IRS the two of you are just one taxpayer, and the trust is just your alter ego.I'm confused why the exchange company is fussy.

The responses I got from folks had about as much variety as the options.

The deal can be structured in a variety of ways by having a JV or having debt only or equity partners.
