I would be looking for street value on flip deals and street value/rental assessments on hold deals.Also I didn't mean to start a big debate but the different view points are very interesting.

There was a pretty heated debate a while ago on wholesaler’s and I spoke my piece on that.

Not usually the same as the county recorder's records do keep them separate in your mind.I've watched people debate the 'is it too early' stuff here on BP for a long time.

. :) That was great advice and I had debated making the letter shorter….or even longer and sending along a summarized version of my investing resume (which is short, honesty) along with the terms I am proposing and how their money would be protected (first position, reasonable ltv, insurance, automatic monthly payments deducted directly from my checking account, pre-signed deed in escrow so foreclosure proceedings could be avoided in the event of default, etc.).

Perhaps that's so they can enjoy the rest of the holiday without burden of worries.My point is that, debating whether to mail or not mail during certain periods shouldn't be an issue.

Separately, I've read a lot of debates around buying investments under my personal name or under a LLC.

I have a house I put under contract I'd debated assigning because I'm really busy right now (if not, I'll close on it, no issue), but the owner basically doesn't want people going through his house.

I'd much rather have something with a concrete, non-debatable standard for determining who pays for what.Please do let us know if you figure out what "adequate considerations" is supposed to mean in this context.

I've also been debating about Marcus Hook but I know that area has been going downhill so I'm not sure if it would be a good idea or not 

It certainly cannot be used to offset capital gains.There is some debate whether we can use Section 179 for a larger portfolio of rentals that would qualify as a "trade or business."
