Domestic and international corporate relocation specialist.

Having recently hit my 50's Ive decided its time to find a way back into real-estate and potentially put 'Corporate America' behind me.

If you have a choice where, find somewhere around Atlanta where there is a new corporate office/highway/college/hospital expanding.

@Jameson Sullivan I would strongly suggest you establishing a Corporate Entity such as a S Corp or a LLC.

I'd like to partner up with a friend who is also a recent graduate, former marine, and who has greater personable skills to complement my operational knowledge (developing procedures and guidelines in order to make consistently well informed decisions).I have a pretty considerable appetite for risk.

Always have the "or Assigns" on the contract to help you with a wholesale and a transfer to your corporation from yourself personally.As soon as you can comfortably, after you close, change the exterior door locks.  

I assume many wholesalers don't do this because then a seller would have to sell to a corporation instead of an individual and thus might lose the deal. 

The restaurant industry lured me in for quite some time, but I eventually worked in a corporate office for about a year and a half before leaving to pursue financial freedom, which led me to more restaurant work, and I ended up going full circle!

@Catherine AshleyA Solo 401k can be adopted by a sole proprietor if no LLC or corporation is formed for your business.

As someone who has had to sell at the bottom of the market a few times due to corporate relocations (thank goodness for relocation packages that kept me mostly whole), I want to cash out on my terms this time.Good luck!
