A quick transition from just flipping one SFR in 2016.  

The only way for the seller to remove the solar panels is to transition them to another property and unfortunately the seller does not have another place to transition the solar panels to or pay them off.2.

Douglas,He can use his SD IRA to invest in real estate, but it has to be an arms length transition, he personally can’t be involved in any way.

I would love to connect with you and help in any way for your transition.

I began my real estate journey as a full-time rehabber (completed about 30 rehabs from roughly 2011-2014), and have since transitioned to full-time client work as a general contractor.

So I am up against a deadline for a reduced payoff of a non-performing mortgage that otherwise has spiraled way out of control.Reduced payoff - 645KDeadline - a couple of daysPay off required after deadline- 790KAs is value of home:  ~950K, but with some rehab can be condo converted and sold for much much more, based on comps.Neighborhood is nearly impossible to buy property in right now, due to upcoming public transit and huge changes.3 investors came willing to do a JV as follows:  Simple split of profits 25%My role would be passive.I felt this did not make sense for me because the value of the property - the buy in for acquisition = My equity, which is thus my capital contribution .So for example if I wanted to buy myself out a week into the project, i get zero, even though I contributed my equity.I offered this deal instead:For my approximate 25% capital buy in via equity + me bringing a very hard to acquire deal to the table, should give me 25% of the gross value, at any point. 

When do you know it’s time to get out of the house and invest in an real business office?Any additional thoughts, comments, tips, etc., are welcome.ThanksLS

s point above about consistent marketing and follow up being more of a success factor than how an agent actually does their job - not saying that's a great thing, but I believe it's often true.I think 'old school' real estate marketing is transitioning more into education-based marketing, in which the agent is more of a guide than a salesperson.

I'd then structure the deals such that if/when the homes are paid off I'll be at retirement age and can simply change income streams.... just the real estate version of accumulating wealth to reach a FI number, then transitioning ones portfolio from a growth focus to a yield focus: a very well-trodden process for stock market investors who "retire early".

I’m a Part-Time Realtor Full-TimeEngineer looking to transition into the realestate market either buying, rehabbing, renting and holding or just flipping homes.Recently, I sold my house I bought two years ago and completely rehab the property.
