Here in Utah, it's like $15 a year to maintain LLCs (something like $70 to establish) so mine as well have a bunch :)

Typically, they would have to pay fair market price, which could be established throough an appraisal or whatever method the law permits.

I see a lot of posts for investors that have a good deal now they are looking for a money partner, but establishing that relationship with someone before you find a deal would probably put more deals through more quickly and easily.

I do not have very much established credit... and not to mention I am getting deeper and deeper into debt being that I am jobless (and looking).

That came thru establishing TRUST.Now, sure some people find deals on the MLS, where literally HUNDREDS of investors are trolling for deals.

Here is my point...You have to establish relationships with five Listing Agents that will put your offers in the front of the line.

All my SF purchases have been in excellent locations with HOA's established to add an additional layer of protection to the area I'm investing.

But what I thought was going to be another wholesale deal has changed into a deal for 11 acres of heavily wooded land in a very well established community outside of pittsburgh.

In order to do more deals, my wife and I have agreed to sell our home (currently being used as a duplex), take the equity for working capital and live in a much more modest home while we get some new rentals established.

Is it just a flat-rate that you establish up-front?
