I have started my company and obtained my LLC.

Would anyone recommend me or my spouse obtaining a real estate license for Arizona ? 

Interesting to hear that there is a lot of development activity in that asset class. 

You may be better off finding a partner to go in on this one (split building, negotiate roles & responsibilities due to financial qualification assistance needed to obtain property).  

The investor meet ups are going to be a huge asset.

I have a friend who does asset/project based lending but only lends on commercial properties, development or land. 

@Brad JacobsonIf you obtain income for referral - you will be issued a 1099.The net income(gross after expenses) will be subject to federal tax, state taxes and self-employment taxes.Expenses that are deductible are ordinary and necessary expenses required to obtain new recruits.Renatus may issue some tax and legal strategies...but I am sure those are the same items that you can obtain here on BP for free.

If you have sufficient equity, why don’t you simply obtain a home equity line of credit?  

Then you will be the owner and entitled to collect payments on the purchased assets. 

This could protect some of your assets so that all your eggs are not in one basket.
