The rest are totally custom and control literally anything.

I formerly practiced real estate law before I made the transition to opening my own independent brokerage and focusing on residential real estate.

Hello everyone,  Paul Brodeur here, just wanted to introduce myself here on Bigger pockets, I am from north Grosvenor dale Connecticut which borders central Massachusetts,  I am fairly new to real estate investing but it  has become my passion ,  I have been listening to the BP podcasts and have learned so much from them , I have owned a few rental properties in the past but had no idea what I was doing to be honest, I made a lot of mistakes and wish I would have found a place like BP back then , currently I am concentrating on finding fix and flips and wholesale deals in my northeast Connecticut and central Massachusetts areas, I am looking to learn and network and build great business relationships , thank you for looking at my post 

There was an episode on American Greed about Remington financial.. they were in business over 20 years their target was small commercial to bigger multi or commercial.. they charged 5 to 10k DD fee's estimated they brought in over 200 million in the 22 years they operated.. by the time the FBI was done with them.. they could not establish that they had made more than 11 loans in all those years.... long prison sentences. your instincts are fine and intact.

Hi @Rita Bock,You just made one of the best networking decisions available!

The mortgage will then be paid for by the rent made from the property.Seems like a solid plan to execute but I'm getting hung up on the order of some of these events.

My company's Excel-based REIA program uses well over 10,000 lines of VBA code that is hidden from the user, but which provides functionality like custom menus and toolbars, data-input wizards, report customization, etc.

We know that, and we constantly seek out feedback from our customers.  

Assuming your property appreciated during your ownership your basis would be cost + capital improvements made (for the property house).

Starting your business now would give you the credit and history of your company that you could use in the future to purchase homes with loans made out to your company.
