Studied like crazy and right out the gate...smh...I actually love it though, great lessons and hopefully this misstep will help the thought process throughout the rest of the Flip!

But also because I can't touch the money in the stock accounts without paying capital gains!  

I have learned how to invest my retirement funds - through a 3rd party custodian - into real estate deals, the proceeds of which are going directly into my retirement account.

Account Closed Thank you for your opinion as well.

I was able to get through all of it and pass the two tests on the first try by staying incredibly focused, and utilizing some smart studying tactics.

Thanks @Mark Pedroza and Account Closed!

I agree with you, having the pro account and ability to search through a million members to find ones near you and then having the ability to send a message to them should be fine.

Put $60K into a "reserved" cash account with third party (e.g. attorney) with 'don't touch unless the loan is called' along with other instructions.

You are not trying to draft an agreement, simply communicating to your attorney what you have agreed on.Submit to your attorney, he/she will come up with further points that need discussion/decisionsDiscuss again, record your decisions and resubmit to attorneyRepeat until the attorney has drafted an operating agreement that you both agree on (you can see that extensive discussion between the partners will save you in attorney costs)Open a bank account (free or close to it) using the newly formed LLC certificate and operating agreementNow you have a functioning company. 

Don't forget about your Linkedin account.
