But to answer your question, yes I would get a deposit and have them sign a RA just like everyone else. 

However, Great Lakes REIA is worthwhile because you will meet some good people, especially if you are looking for a windows guy (Chris W), or an insurance agent for investment property (Randy R), a local evictions attorney (Gary F), etc.

R, A and B.In 2010, we converted our primary residence R to rental.

I know of 2 attorneys that are primarily RA's and it's not uncommon for them to get 5000 pieces of incoming mail every day,

When real estate is distributed from an IRA to the IRA account holder, the property is assigned in the IRA holder's name, but before that can be done, the IRA custodian will need to know the fair market value (FMV) of the property so that the correct amount of taxes is paid on the distribution.Unfortunately the RA participant cannot purchase the property from the IRA as this would result in a prohibited transaction.

And what is your liability when it happens that's what you pay them for .. not blue sky ra ra .. but reality check.

Personally I love it, but I'm not really posting to be RA RA for the University.

Our company belongs to RA.

I remember when I dormed on campus during my under grad days the RA's on campus always made us sign a roommate agreement and housing contract, so I remember some things, but any other help would be useful.

While both of these companies are great, Cramer said they are too big to be acquired.What we need is a small REIT with strong yield and office property in New York, since that's where it's hot right now, he said.He recommended two: Reckson Associates Realty (RA - news - Cramer's Take) and Brandywine Realty Trust (BDN - news - Cramer's Take), both of which have high yields.Credit due to the Staff at thestreet.com
