Making a friend a lot more money than they were getting previously - Last year was my first year to attempt a JV Partnership on flips and it feels extremely rewarding making a silent partner money that they would have never expected/received from traditional investments. 

***UPDATE***We received a total of 12 offers, and closed today $160,000 over asking.With great risk comes great reward!

I know a handful of individuals who have indicated to me that they would consider investing in real estate in the future. 

I've been fortunate enough to meet some really real estate educated individuals through meetUp and would be very thankful to meet more either like-minded individuals looking to grow or those who would like to share strategies/help guide me in the process.Biggest hope is to understand how to efficiently assess a properties value/cash flow capabilities and negotiate with the best of them.

Great reward, but more risk.

Not sure how to respond individually to each reply so I will just reply in here. 1.  

It's great to see so many like minded individuals helping each other out and building financial freedom. 

If you are holding title as an individual, you will likely be required to pay withholding through escrow.

I am looking to exchange knowledge about real estate investing with other individuals with unique strategies.

I expect it to take a little bit to get rolling but I am in this for the long haul and look forward to the challenges and rewards that are in store for me.
