What kind of investor do you want to be (passive vs active), how much capital do you have to invest, what is your tolerance for risk, and what is your long-term game plan.Anyone who says you should always do this or that should be listened to objectively.

The best advice I can give is to have a clear cut objective for your investment deal so it'll be easier to find what you're looking for.Good luck and welcome to BP!

I became REO specialist very quickly, made no $$ but made a lot of connections with investor.

In the end though, the objective is to make money and if your way works for you then continue to do it.

The best way to get really good exposure for a property for sale or rent is to run two ads on FB per objective.

I wouldn't suggest not telling my SO about a rental property I bought, but I wouldn't let objections like blind fear stop me.  

I'm not totally objective here :) but a lot of people skip San Antonio.

My first task as a "Land Specialist" for Whitetail properties is to begin taking on listings. 

Hello,I am looking for ideas of how to set up either a 'loan method' or a partnership with an individual private investor who has as a couple of his main objectives to 1) reduce his current tax liability, and 2) make a return as good or better than stocks/mutual funds while diversifying, and 3) possibly turn these loans/investments in a good 'income stream' in about 10 or so years when he is ready to retire.

You either have to do a quiet title action through the courts ( apx 6 months), or use a specialist company to do the work and underwrite the title before a buyer can get title insurance and a loan against the property.The underwriters don't work in the judicial States, so I am wondering if you have to take further court action there to get insurable title there, or if the initial court action that produced the deed is enough.Complicated!
