As most of you know I am an Englishman on this forum and trying hard to catch up on all your jargon, rules and regulations so please forgive me if I have made any serious mistakes in this post and if I have please correct me.First let me say that I think the Idea is a great one and should be investigated more and really the only person that can do this is Joshua because it will involve lawyers and will have a significant effect on Bigger Pockets so I would like to ask him if he is willing.Next point is what is this going to be so far we have had LLC, REIT, 501(c)(3)........!!!

The meeting went so badly the landlord literally leaped across the inspector's desk and started strangling him.After an investigation the ensuing charges were dropped and the inspector was prohibited from ever working with this landlord again.I had another inspector demand an inside inspection after seeing several torn screens (recently caused by the tenant).

Many have written books about their experiences and their particular business models.Log onto Barnes & Noble bookstore and plug in the keyword 'real estate'.

This can help you decide which avenue of real estate investing you may want to go down; flipping, buy and hold, etc.Search and browse the community, education, marketplace and tools bars on top of the site to see what information is available.Setting up keyword alerts will help let you know if someone is talking about a particular topic in a forum.I only know if people are responding to to my posts or replies if they are using the "@" feature as that is how I have my alerts set up.

Certainly worth investigating the implications of a 1031 exchange, I reckon.

I've done this while working on my marketing and it's helped me develop landing pages and find keywords to use in my content.

We have done something similar and the way it was put to me by a lender/friend, you only guarantee that you will live there a year, and the odds that the mortgage company will send out someone to investigate is incredibly small.
