Hello BP Friends, So I've been trying to actively get my first deal in the northern New Jersey area.

I would bet the cash on cash return will not be a calculation you will have to worry about on this deal if you do not have ANY costs to you going into the deal outside of whatever is financed.

I'm currently active duty military but have always been a seller.

Hey guys I'm new to real estate investing and trying to get into wholesaling looking for some like minded people to meet up with maybe do some offshore fishing or catch a beer. Sending out my first mailing next week s...

I am active duty.

In Amanda and Matt's book, Tax Strategies for the Savvy Real Estate Investor, they say if your home office is "your primary place of business" for real estate activities, then you can deduct it.

Some HML also supply rehab funds in draws but you need to spend before you get.Private financing is your best bet but you need to sell family/friends/misc contacts on your business plan and how you will pay them back.

Even if you have a property in LLC, the activity would be reported on your personal return anyway, so LLC is doing no harm. 

@Paul LaSpinaA limited Partner in a Limited Partnership should be afforded limited liability(up to contributions to partnership).As a limited partner in an LP - you are not allowed to engage in the day to day activities of the limited partnership.

My 2 cents: That's not a function of the landlord being an active duty service member; that's a function of the landlord being a scumbag.
