I have looked into doing the LLC but it seems that the LLC would need to withhold 30% of his share and then he would file US tax return and possibly get some of that back.

I say we, I had to bring my parents on as partners to keep the project moving.

Lots of Gen Y / Milennials ( or anybody born after 1980 or so) really don't see the value of the suburban back yard as their parents did.

I have been reading bandit sign discussions here on bigger pockets and decided to withhold my bandit sign marketing for a while or not even do it.

@Christopher Talbert, I would handle this in two separate situations: - First deal with your existing tenant (the parent, I assume it's the mother since you did not say).

I am currently married to my college sweet heart and we are the proud parents of a beautiful little girl.Real estate investing piqued my interest because of the great mortgage rates that currently exist, relatively low housing prices, and the fact that my dad has owned an investment property for quite a few years.

We just found a great condo in Morton Grove, IL that is a GREAT price and that after he would buy, my parents would rent there (currently they rent in glenview) These are all very nice areas, and I have made some calls to hard money lenders and that is just not the route I think I want to take.I would like to meet a private lender who can appreciate healthy returns, not some brokers who will just tack on more points and raise the rate.I really appreciate all the responses. ***********, did that answer your question?

My girlfriends parents have a vacant house next door which could be very nice but it's been vacant for quite some time and it's showing the signs.

I grew up watching my parents manage real estate and am in the process of buying my first investment property.

What are some other things that I can do for her so she doesn't get too upset and start withholding rent?
