Thanks,Ratna what everyone mistake is some people is stuck in h1b for decades and they are too afraid to buy primary home, or to buy rental in US or even to apply mortgage which at the end, makes them losing the biggest opportunity to make money in real estate.In reality it doesn't really matter as income from cash flow is a passive investment, you could do even flipping business while on h1 as the profit is from buy and sell activity. 

This REI business is hard and you need to embrace the ebb and flow of it like any business. 

I was just wondering if anyone knew if I needed to get that transferred to my name/business, or can I just have them renew the registration every year?

I would want to separate the liability from my brokerage business and my real estate flipping business.

Hi All,I am working on developing some automation solutions (financial, accounting, workflow, etc.) for Real Estate Investors and I wanted to poll folks on what their individual needs are currently. It would be great ...

Although we won't see any drastic changes immediately, it's clear that the conversation is moving forward and could lead to significant shifts in how we do business.

I have not done a lot of research yet, but I imagine that others in town are begining to wonder about their options as well.Being creative and building are the parts that I'm passionate about, so I'm not interested in cookie cutter designs or paying others to do what I consider to be the fun part.

He ended up  took the owner of the home, his construction company, my 12 yr old sister and my father along with my dad's self employed business to court .

I probably would quality for being a trade or business with the amount of hours I put in remodeling and such but since I don't have logs for the past 4 years (since I've had my rentals for much longer), it would be at least 3 to 4 more years before I'd qualify for that.

Or brokerage firms where brokers are investors themselves or have an investment arm of the business?
