Creative marketing for investors... but dangerous since the Jobs act and SEC 506 exemptions don't allow anonymous soliciting investments unless you've done an A+ filing, or there is one 506 SEC exemption that allows advertising..It all goes well until there's a blow up and a lender makes a few calls to the state SEC etc.  

I am dangerously close to acquiring a rental property (which should close dec 30th) I believe my success with this goal is greatly attributed to my team of awesome people who have helped me through the process.

I'm a newbie, too ... so I know enough to be dangerous. 

Wondering if anyone has found having a single agent represent both buyer and seller to be a conflict of interest and dangerous for the buyer.really could use some opinions here

During the three-day seminar, which was aptly described as being like drinking out of a fire hose, it soon became clear that we were learning just enough to be dangerous.

The danger with waiting them out is that you could be waiting a long time.

Using a written pro forma to show to possible partners of investors is plain dangerous and IMO, should never be done as it will always be seen as, at the least a representation of your deal and may even be seen as a guarantee.

Still almost as cheap, but without the danger.

I was looking through Detroit Land Bank properties and noticed this typical Detroit Style Home going for as little as $1,000 in some areas.Look at the other pic of what someone did in another city with a similar style house and imagine what a D-town home would look like all fixed up like that.Imagine a whole street of fixed up homes, it's called Gentrification.And with a few homes in sight of each other fixed up, if the trend catches on the prices on the delapitated old shacks starts going up, and so does the price of the fixed up home.Some of these homes (not all of them) for the right person, could be diamonds in the rough.If you consider yourself poor, you could learn fixups from youtube, and buy the materials as money allowed (vs looking for grants or trying to get loans), and if you are willing to put in the labor....and put up with the danger of the area...a gentrified home could be the outcome. 

Moreover, a DST can be used to rescue a 1031 Exchange that is in danger of failing.
