Or, “So, what do you do all day”… Or, “It must be nice getting those big checks”… funny the things they perceive to be what is involved…They don’t see me writing fat checks all the time to make things go, or spend nights and weekends working, firing contractors, all of the things it takes to be successful.

However, my new problem is that my job involves traveling away from home for 1-5 weeks at a time, and then only being home for 1-2 weeks, so this is going to add a challenge, but I'm going to try to figure it out as I go.

Most of them try to sell ther packages by making people believe that they can become multi-millionaires in a very short time period without doing any work at all.So now that you've figured out that it is a lie and that actually there is a great deal of time and work involved in real estate, stop trying to get your millions without working and get to work and put some time and effort in.I don't think real estate is hard.

I'm involved with a company called [REMOVED] as a web developer/marketing strategist.

I love moderated forums as you can really get good info and not just adds and spam and trolls.I am a commercial lender that is very much involved with a downtown revitalization project and am looking forward to swapping ideas and thoughts with others in the "biz".

I've only been involved in this for about 1.5 weeks, so let me know if I've left any important information out.The investment group is an LLC operating out of CA that does redevelopment in another state.

So Roxcy...What area of real estate are you involved in or hoping to be involved in?

If the LLC takes out the loan in an arms length transaction, then you have more protection against the creditors and individuals involved in the liability in that situation limited to those assets in the LLC.

May have been a fairly hefty charge involved, something like $100 up to $250.

Mostly because of the 1031 rules.You do not need to use a TIC when you want to do a 1031 so do not confuse the two.A TIC will not have a clear exit path if there is 1031 money involved.
