well Im asking for your opinion ;) :Dand as far as I can research, the LLC is the most popular choice for REIs.

I dread it but figgure I have a few choices. 1. get run over2. get out of the way3. get in the thick of the action and make it all happen.

This again is a personal choice where and what kind of property you want to invest in and what are the terms of your investment.Can you give me an indication of how much you would like to spend and whether you wan to mortgage part of the investment or like to pay in full?

i just received my notification in the mail that my real estate sales associate application was accepted.I take my state (florida) test next week and feel confident i'll pass, no problem. my problem is that i dont know what direction i should take. i want to work for a owner developer like KB homes but on their website is says "recent residential sales success preferred, however new Licensees with a proven successful sales or customer service background are welcomed" i dont have a strong sales background and my resume won’t have any sales experience highlighted at all. what should i do?

You can normally borrow up to 50k that way.If you are a contractor and do the work yourself you will still have a hard time adding a second story and bathroom plus other repairs for under 50k.My swimming pool cost more than that.If you can pull it off however creative you get with it,you still have to sell by 01/07 and for 335k.or preferably alot more.

Lease Option Purchase....Assignment of Contract, etc....If I understand....first find a property..... preferably FSBO.... work out a deal with the seller where I give the seller X $ amount such as $4000 plus a monthly payment .... and the option for X amount of time........at this point does the lease option gets recorded or how do I protect myself from the transaction?.....

I don't care if a person is black, white or indifferent - it just makes my job seem pointless when I see the hopelessness with which some of these people surround themselves - out of choice I might add.

What I have seen is that apartments are generally the most intensive when it comes to management so as an out of state owner it may be preferable for you to consider something that will require less management risk.

:welcome: Value is where you find it and what you're comfortable with.I prefer to buy SFHs in good neighborhoods and rent them.

That's a personal preference, but probably a third or more of the homes in the US are covered in vinyl siding, so its pretty popular.
