@Summer Dechanukul if someone can't say they have been deceived by a contractor or someone else in business then they haven't done much business.

They give you discounts on West Elm, Pottery Barn, etc and a membership is free if you have a business.  

I see many first time investors make the mistake of buying in a college town, but not where the students want to live.Business Sprints - You work like a lion in this business.

That is cool, but for those running a business at any level of scale, not of any significant importance.

If your LLC is not doing business in MN, then it would seem to make sense to register it in CA to avoid the need to pay registration fees in 2 states, if you can avoid MN filing fees and requirements. 

My business partner and I are considering starting a real estate consulting practice where we would advise buyers, sellers and investors on the buying and selling process.

I assume, I will have to open business accounts and use those to manage my business expenses and business earnings etc. 

The rules are confusing me for whether this is only needed for hiring an individual independent contractor or if it's needed for hiring another business as well. 

But that's no guarantee.And, you can follow all good screening procedures, professionally run your business, and don't get too cozy with your neighbor/tenant.After that, roll the dice. 

Hello folks in Lending forum,looking to try and see about potential lending partners who can write large checks (7 figures) and are looking for very high yield (much higher vs private lending rates) and higher than HML rates.only need lending for 4-6months until large line of credit gets granted and we pay off the short term note.ping me if worth a conversation or have ideas...this seems perfect for a family office just wanting to place dry powder for 4-6mos while they are looking for other deal flow but trying see about other options out there as well.thanks in advance.
