So I'll skip the lecture for Joint Checks with subs.

So some ideas I had, that worked sometimes were:A friendly joint ventureA family joint ventureDelayed settlementPartner with the sellerLong study periodsLong period option to purchaseAsk the seller to refinance and I'd take over the mortgageAsk fro 100% mortgageAsk the seller to finance a100% and give me some cashAfter thousands of dollars spent on motel courses taught by dubious "smarties", I discovered that they didn't have the answers either. 

I haven't done any deals in real estate yet.Would love to keep in touch since we're so close and possibly joint venture on a deal down the road.

The only option that I can even think off is a joint ventureship with a hard money lender but that will also require that you have a solid understanding of the real estate market and construction costs.

I do use glue on all of the joints to keep them from loosening up over the years.  

Next you will need to find your lending sources you will want more than one source, but these are included too but not limited to: Hard Money Lenders, Private Money, Joint Ventures, LOCS, and CCs.4.

However, I have also come across the author of Lifeonaire Shaun McCloskey who advocates to debt free investing with joint ventures.

My partner and I set up a joint bank account and 90% of transactions went through that account.

This is all just my opinion so go for it if you feel it and send me your deals in New York if you would like to do a joint-venture.

In other words, my wife is a full time W2 and we file Married Filing Jointly for our personal taxes, but now I don't know how to file for myself who works full time in the LLC since there is $0 income from the LLC.
