I am really hoping to network with like minded people in the industry.  

Hello everyone I am new to bigger pockets I am looking to network.

Check with your CPA rather than your attorney on how that might work out.

The best advise would be to educate yourself as much as possible and try to network (as you are here) with like minded individuals and most IMPORTANTLY take action.

Derrick Gordon Daniel Caraway the best way to find a good GC is networking.

Might be worth talking with an attorney or your CPA.  

Our goal is also to build a portfolio of properties in our city to be able to provide housing for folks that we come into contact with through our non-profits.On the other hand, I also participate in syndication deals with my network of investors bc I find it to be a great strategy for investors looking for solid passive income and a relatively easy way to multiply their money.

You have to get out there and network and connect with some people in your area.

Just looking to network with guys and learn as I go as well.

We are using bank financing so each member is responsible to pay the down payment plus closing costs equivalent to their percentage of interest in the company.As far as the payroll taxes or 1099 that is something our CPA will be guiding us through.
