Hey everyone, I have just spend the last 30 minutes or so getting caught up on the forums and something really caught my eye...the number of people who come seeking deals/partnerships/HMLs and do not follow basic etiquette or treat people with respect.

I'm in Concord and I'm looking for a California Bay Area agent in the area who's (obviously) familiar with Real Estate investing tactics.I'm looking to create a mutually financially successful partnership - so in short if you're dedicated and ready to make some cash with me then shoot me a message or respond here.King

The choice for the individual investor is either invest as a passive investor (reits, limited partnerships) or become expert in a niche market too small for the institutions interests.

The fact that you were suggesting that your sister hold title tells me that the relationshipis probably not one built on extreme trust.As Jon pointed out, and even if your state has no common law statutes, a partnership may be constituted by certain actions.

You might want to check into a LP (Limited Partnership) Limited Partners contribute money to the LP but do not take part in the business operation at all.

A business is required to be licensed, but business can be transacted without a license.For the purposes of the IRS your business may be deemed a sole proprietorship or a partnership depending on the transactions involved.

You can make a partnership agreement for any split you like....good luck

Hope my question is worthy of your attention.Seems the best alternatives for an overseas cash buyer for REI in US can be listed as:1. do seller financed2. rent and hold3. do some form of partnership with a local player4. do private lending5. do wholesaling (don't actually understand what that it all about)6. did I miss other options?

I have made some wonderful friends on here, I have learned so much more than I could have outside of BP, and have made several business partnerships and relationships.

Might not be the best way is you want to stay on their Christmas card list.I think you're talking about creating some sort of partnership where you get some investors to put in money and you run the deal.
