Thanks for the response, I initially had no intention of selling the property as it does really well as a rental.

They are a good place to network with active investors and lots of information available especially at the subgroup meetings.Cfri.netGoreia.comAs for relationships with property managers, if the intent is to have a property manager actively manage your rental properties your son might want to consider hanging his license with my broker.

My intentions with this property is to be my primary residence and have my brother living with me to split the cost of monthly payments until I find a new property or I may just live in this one for a while.  

If you are attempting to sway people in power who may wake up and fix the system, I am not sure this is the ideal venue for that.If you are so down on the area, you should probably change your investing but I am just not sure why you are so intent on spreading the doom.

To summarize, Dodd-Frank's intent is ABSOLUTELY NOT to kill the individual investor.

The intent is to minimize the amount of assets that can be seized, by segregating your assets, in the event that one of your properties incurs liability in an amount greater than that assets value or any insurance covering the asset.At the end of the day, what you need is legal advise which can only be given by a lawyer.

Say for instance, one purchased a property (not like what Al wants to do) with the intent to flip it but for what ever reason, they still had it for 2 months then turned it into a rental that rented for 6mo or a yr, then were able to sell it afterward.

Not really a good comparison though, because we didn't buy with the intention to have it be an investment.My husband is leary of buying a property so far from us as our first investment.  

My plan is to get into SOMETHING with the intent of getting a track record for brokers / lenders and then get out and into stuff that makes better sense on paper.

From the Grand Forks Community Land Trust website we see that a CLT is defined as "community-based 501c3 nonprofits whose intent is to provide perpetually affordable housing options.
