The two got permanently tied together in people's minds, but good qualified lawyers are willing to cut through the misinformation.I know that won't convince you, but I would at least recommend you stop spreading unqualified legal advice, especially when you are hijacking threads with off-topic comments in order to do so.Now, back to the original topic.....

I will note that pretty much ALL of the deals we finance are institutional-quality properties with exit strategies of either 1) refi via long-term, permanent takeout (life companies), or 2) sale / disposition to institutional investors.So as I individually attempt begin my personal investing career (currently in learning mode with capital ready to deploy), I understand that I can't just walk into a room full of sophisticated, savvy and experienced investors and announce that I'd like to participate in a "sure thing", ground-up 350-unit, class A apartment building in midtown ATL.

Another issue is that if I legalize the in-law, the property will be permanently under rent control.

Tyler Brown - Consider this ...Your mother still maintains a permanent residence at the house.

Every single one I've worked with to date just sends me MLS listing, I find property, and he/she gets a nice fat paycheck.

Fat chance unless you find a private investor that wants to bank on a virgin real estate investor...and even then it will be at a much higher interest rate.

Get permanent tenants for commercial and residential space. 3500 +2500 = $6000 monthly, try refinance again.Any other deals to pitch to investors?

Your image is everything and the web is so permanent.

Hi Jeff, We have a saying " Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered " meaning do not get too greedy on this one.

Or am I stuck with it permanently as a flip even if I sell it in thirty years to be able to afford my dream homestead?
