I can come up with 10k cash (willing to pull from my after-tax contributions to my Roth IRA) and I can take about another $50K from a backdoor IRA rollover from my prior employer's 401(k), but I'd rather not do that.

I'd say the best way for you to go would be inside the business entity as a partner.

Lots of paperwork, and time with you local gov to get something like that done I would imagine.

I'd like to go into this as educated as possible.

If you're thinking about getting an aged shelf corp, I'd definitely recommend giving them a look.

I’d love to hear from people that have had skin in the game for a while.

Surprisingly, this decision has led to building an Arbitrage business generating much more cash flow than I had imagined.

I went to SOU for about a year and grew up in southern Oregon, I’d be more than happy to take a look and see what you’ve got going on.Thank you Chris! 

All was cut/ripped out and, I imagine sold for scrap to support someone's habit. 

I was wondering if there's anyone is familiar with that area or knows anyone who is, I'd love to connect with you.
