However, most of them did do investing at one time or limit their practice almost solely to investors.

How are you currently (or previously) financing most of your projects and what is particularly deficient with your current (or previous) funding source?

Hi all, I've recently come into a situation where I am POA, caregiver, and sole heir of a very elderly grandparent.

.)- And many more...I am not necessarily richer than before I invested in RE but I'd say my life is somewhat richer...I am never bored.Please send me a message if like me, your parents are source of inspiration and if your love for real estate does not get tarnished by your "love" for bed bugs and dealing with ignorant lenders...

Currently our home has 150k-180k in equity (depending on an additional legal addition of property to the backyard) and im not yet sure as to what method to pursue.I dont intend to dive completely into real estate investing as my sole career but do wish to acquire enough passive income to work as little as possible while attending graduate school a year from now.

You might want to be the sole member so that it is a straight pass through entitiy.  

If you buy a t a big enough discount like Bill Gulley suggests it doesn't matter.Bill, I am curious how you prefer to source notes with significant discounts and what the yield is based on the coupon and your discounted price.  

I am currently a wholesaler and landlord, although adapting more into other income sources in real estate.Is your passive or business income from real estate the same, greater, or lesser than when you were working a job?

I don't mean to be disrespectful, however if you carry your 'I know for a fact' attitude into the bank, you have probably not compelled the right people to want to help you.Since people want to do budiness with people they know and like, if you are an unknown quantity from an unknown source, you're just another smart person who knows the language of money. 

I would also like someone who has experience working with LLCs and sole-proprietors and who can advise on the benefits of different legal entities.
