It doesn't make you any "better" of an investor, education and experience do. 

In general contributions into and distributions out of an entity do not create a taxable event. 

Any attorneys/CPAs out there that care to comment?  

It can be very expensive with the cost of an appraisal nowadays.

I guarantee the banks knows your level of experience through their underwriting. 2. who cares, ask to be sure.

Hi all,There are many reputable companies who will list properties (for sale) on realtor.ca for a flat fee without the use of an agent, hence saving commissions, but I haven't been able to find anyone reputable for leases. 

Go back to your REIA you now have direction and find someone/ a couple of people that is doing that strategy and add value to them (I don't care how heck offer to clean their job site for free). 

Assuming the property is in Texas, be careful of "large down payment". 

Back to the unit though, it's separate from the main building, has it's own entrance off a pathway, actually WAS a "house" at one time (see: https://sf.curbed.com/2015/2/24/9988502/rememberin...) before it was moved to this lot, has it's own dedicated yard, I have a reasonably priced contractor that I took care of in 2008 that makes sure I'm taken care of first when there's work, and my business partner will handle almost all the city paperwork.

If they live in a dump now, do you honestly think they will take care of your new flooring and paint?
