If someone told you that you could lose 50 pounds without changing your eating habits or increasing the amount of exercise you do would you believe them?

Sorry for the ignorant question, and I don’t mean to offend any agents out there, but I don’t fully understand the role of a real estate agent.Why should I find a real estate agent when looking to buy an investment property?

You don't need to make any added payments since you own the option...nobody else can buy this property during the option period.When you qualify, then you exercise your option and buy the property.

I’m trying to come up with a structure within an LLC where one member is paid regularly vs. having a percentage of ownership.  I’d want this one member who is managing the property to get a % of the rents, but not hav...

YOU may not have done well in previous jobs/roles and you may continue with the same pattern in current venture as well.

The lease is guaranteed by the parent company, so even if store goes dark, we get paid as long as the company is solvent.We live abroad and are considering moving back to the States to take a more hands-on approach into something that doesn't have a ticking time bomb (our NNN lease ends in 2030, after which there are multiple 5-year options the corporation could or couldn't exercise).My wife wants to know if there are any other options to exit a 1031 exchange without getting gouged on capital gains (on already exchanged property).
