*Read some forums on this page (thanks, y'all are pretty awesome)*Done a bunch of "driving for dollars" (I have a side business inspecting houses that makes this easy/free to do), did the cold calling/research to get to the owners to get to the point of making a few offers.

I am about to summit an offer on a rehab property with a squatter living in it.

However, if you want one lease, then I would suggest dropping to $1,550 PM me or Jon if you want more details.

I am open to any suggestions.

We were approached with a creative financing offer and it sounds really shady.

Reading through some other forum posts, it looks like there are much simpler partnerships, entities, or offerings that would meet what I am trying to do:My Role:-Decide on properties to purchase, mostly SFHs-Establish LLCs or other business structures to hold the real estate and distribute returns-Purchase properties, using loans as needed depending on the ROI/cash flow desired from investors-Act as property manager for the properties-Depreciate properties held in business entities to minimize taxable income to investors-Distribute returns to investors-Create investments that have high cash flow (CF) and low appreciation (App) , moderate CF and App, low CF and high App-Find investors from connections, friends, and family with no public advertising-Advise in a minimal capacity on tax and real estate strategies-Send investment reports to investors-Be fiduciary to all investors-Receive compensation from PM and other management work I do related to the investmentsInvestors:-Can be non-accredited -Invest as little as $1000-Can use retirement accountsWhat references can people recommend for me to learn about business structures, partnerships, securities, taxes, or other topics to get me started on learning what will work for my goals?

I'm looking at buying a self-serve car wash and force value / revenue by installing a car port / detail bay for a mobile detailer to be stationed there weekly and offer custom detail services.

Thanks for the suggestion @GlennMccrorey.I just listened to your podcast in it's entirety... 

I have worked with about 6 agents and all of them seem to be tired of writing offers for me.

My suggestion would be to figure out that play as it seemed like a very nice return.
