At some point I wanted to view an individual's profile.

I'm really glad to see another younger person involved in real estate and investing.I pretty much have the same situation as you, my mother is supportive, and no one in my school of 2500 students has a clue what any of this is.I'll tell you, from my personal experience, people (most the time) view you as a very driven individual and are impressed.Ive yet to receive a negative experience due to my age.unfortunately, I'm only 15, but my mom is willing to sign my contracts and basically be my business partner.Starting out young is the best thing you can do, you can re-invest many of your profits since you don't have debt or a family to feed.Congratulation's on your investments ($5,000 is pretty decent for 17)and keep learning.

Ideally I would like to begin picking up multi-family units.

I bought a license and installed it myself on my server and configured it myself as well.That is why it looks as bad as it does.I have done more research and think I might have to go with MovableType as my blog software, not sure yet.Has anybody got contacts to a company or individual that is experienced in Blog software customization etc that I could hire for the re-implementation of the software?

If you are required to give any personal notice then make a new lease to the person behind the door.Having two individuals who are not married can present problems as to who can be made to pay for damages, it may be equally between them, not good, or it could be either one being fully liable, taht will come down to state law and local custom to how a judge thinks.I have had many college students and this is commonly arranged in this area.

Both quality individuals.

If so, I'll move this over to the bulk REO forum.Second, and more personally, I'd love to hear some clues about how to get on individual REOs more quickly.

There will always be that individual that wants some one else to make the money for them.Have I made $5K in 20 minutes on one deal???

Newbie here and suspicious of a "great offer"Hippoze is the primary LLC formed for the purpose of purchasing, managing and selling real estate.Smaller feeder LLCs managed by GM's will have their own LLC under the mother ship HBI.Smaller LLC's run by a GM offer this "opportunity" to friends and family.Hippoze LLC would be the title owners.They are "Hoping" to refinance in 1-3 years but an investment period of 10 years is desired, It is up to the discretion of the GM what to do with the returned moneys, 1) reinvest with HBI 2) reinvest with another NON HBI investment 3) return to the individual investors.Depreciation and profit will be passed down to the LLC and investors through K1s.This is the small of it, our investment would be around $10K and each LLC will be $50K to 250K, supposedly the GM for our LLC has a substantial investment ready to go.

Ideal price point between $40-$60k.Had to fill 3 vacancies so far this year so landlording certainly keeps me busy.
