One guy focuses on the student rentals exclusively and lives off that income.

If you are comfortable with  scanning/emailing, phone and/or Skype meetings then there are quite a few (myself included) CPAs on BP that deal exclusively with real estate investors and are good options.

Hi, can anyone recommend a closing attorney in the Atlanta metro area who's familiar with Flex Option Agreements  or non-exclusive Option to purchase agreements? 

Assuming I have an option to purchase the property in my LLC's name AND we sign a NON-exclusive agency agreement with my brokerage firm, is there any issue with me advertising the property as FSBO myself and putting it on the MLS?

The Seller, in consideration of the Buyer paying $100.00 (the “Option Deposit”), gives to the Buyer the exclusive option (the “Option”) to purchase the property described herein (the “Property”).

If you understand an asset class such as real estate and believe it will perform better than having your IRA exclusively in the stock market, a SDIRA provides the ability for the IRA to make such investments.This is not a means for "you to begin your REI", however. 

. - We could also sell, invest the money, and buy another rental (re-leverage)If you are able to take advantage of the IRS Section 121 exclusion, then selling is a great option!

. - Note fund lends exclusively or overwhelmingly in 1st position notes.- Note fund is not leveraged at all, or is lightly leveraged (many note funds raise $50M, perhaps 50/50 debt and equity.

Much simpler.When you pay someone for an option, it is exclusive.

Especially in Boston where the cap gains 121 exclusion of $500k could come into play.
