Thank you for your good article.

I'd like to start out by wholesaling because I heard it was the easiest way but I've come to some problems. while reading on here I came across an article talking about how investors have been getting charged penalties for practicing "unlicensed activity".

I also found many articles about landlords shooting or stabbing tenants.The valuable lesson learned on BP today is to use the legal system and don't try to collect rent in person.

As far as a partner, I have not entertained it - however, I am exploring the possibility of private financing which will assist in substantial upgrades/repairs and account for initial vacancy. 

I have learned a lot from the articles (including comments) and podcasts so far. 

Hello - this may be a newbie question but from reading the various articles on BP and Investopedia, my understanding is that Net Operating Income (NOI) is defined as operating expenses required to run and maintain the property but excludes Loan Payments, Capital Expenditures, Depreciation, and Amortization.The IRS has recently raised the Tangible Property Expensing threshold to $2,500 (from $500 previously) per item so if you took advantage of this change, wouldn't it decrease your NOI since you can expense smaller capital items as repairs & maintenance instead of capitalizing and then depreciating them over time?  

Hey there Detarus, coincidentally or not, I just read about you in a basketball article, you're playing some Pro-Am at the Courts, right?

Any bank can set up an account for a Series LLC just take your Articles of organization and Federal EIN # if you don't have one go to IRS.gov and they have an online registration or fill out IRS form SS-4 and mail or fax in.Hope this helps good luck

there are some articles here from a year ago but since technology moves so fast just want to know which tools are considered today as best to automate the wholesale business, from receiving leads and tracking them to sending direct mail and also tracking them, lead from website, calls etcthanks in advance !
