Once I get enough cash from that move into condo conversions and try to take my investment company public.

That means PUBLICITY!

Investment banks, big insurance companies, and others who bought securities that were based on mortgages that were no good.EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THESE GROUPS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO FAIL AND THE CRIMINALS THAT STARTED THIS MESS SHOULD BE EXPOSED AND PUNISHED.

Lynne, please post publicly what you have been doing so we can all benefit from the experience you are bringing.Thank you,-Michael

I've been investing in RE for well over a year now, and have had 2 properties that I've been relatively succuessful, a SFD property bought as a REO , repaired cheaply and increased equity by 40% and a 6 unit apartment complex that is now cashflowing and has increased by about 400% in equity.We will be finalizing some credit account the comming week to secure enough money to start buying atleast one property per month to add to our portfolio.Our goal is to buy properties in decent neighborhood at no less than 35% ARV , rehab and then lease-option or other type of seller financing/RTO deal.

I am having trouble figuring out how to try and secure a legitimate corporate veil!

What route would you reccommend I take to secure financing for some homes that are in foreclosure?

We are a representative public and the elected officials should not govern by polls and what the majority wants at any given moment.

We have also recently started an LLC, which we use for a small business, but would it be beneficial to try and do this through the business, since the other two properties were secured under our personal name?
