There may be a way to track real estate properly on this program, but it sure isn't intuitive.

I'm a recovering i-banker who is getting ready to start an MBA program this fall, and looking to invest in real estate before going back to school.I'm focused on investing in my hometown, St.

It appears that the loophole got closed in 2008.

It's more of an appearance issue than a functional issue.

I'm sure you if search around the BP forum you will find alot of people who have spent thousands on REI programs/mentorship, only to find out when it's to late, that they were a waste of money and time.

Here is an example:"University, Executive, Professional, Airport, Downtown, Yard, Dogs, Cats, Pets, Luxury, Designer, Upscale, Historic"I was told by a friend that saw my ad that it could be considered discriminatory and in violation of Fair Housing Laws since it could appear that the ad is designed to attract "Executive and Professional" tenants.My units are very upscale and it's reflected in the monthly rental price.

Work with a broker who will actually teach you notes (rare because they usually teach what they want you to know in dealing with them) another way is to self study by looking at various brokerage sites, talking with other investors and reading the note forums, the last way is to pay some guru who may take you down a path of showing you some method that is often expensive.To my knowledge, there aren't any "note schools" or education programs that do not have some vested interest in how you do things or where you invest......that may change soon.Non-performing loans can be worthless.

Perhaps not with the SEC since it appears you did not market to them but had prior relationships with them.

I would put him on it.. and make it appear for everyone in my area.. that was thinking about buying houses...

Purchased a SFR with savings and followed up by using the FHA program for a duplex I live in now.Went in for some sweet equity and took half the walls down to the lathes on one side (old plaster home) and like many... got a crash course in DIY.
