I was wondering if anyone be interested in maybe doing a joint venture or two.

It is the spring and I thought I would give a primer on "creative financing" for the BP community.I will break it up into Beginner and Advanced.I will talk about well known and not so well known strategies.Beginner strategies includes bank financing, hard money and private lender financing, as well as installment sales, land contracts, lease options to buy-control, sub2, land trusts, option to purchase flipping, sale and purchase contract flipping, wrap around mortgage-AITD purchases, self-directed IRAs, Joint Venture Partnerships w LLCs, and others.Advanced strategies include JVs with Sellers, pooling private funds, syndications and more.Lastly some legal issues regarding Dodd Frank, CFPB regulation, illegal flipping, and other issues.I will visit this post page every day for as long as it takes to go over these creative financing strategy issues.` Brian

Reaching out to find people's experience with doing Joint Ventures?

(Joint venture).

I live just outside of Jackson Hole, Wyoming and am interested in connecting with local note investors, potentially for a joint venture(s).  

Joint Venture with someone who is doing what you want to do or find someone to buy the properties in the city of your choice.

Prior when you had co-obligated debt where someone else who co-signed with you, you had to show the other signor had been paying this debt for 12 full months from their own bank account (could not be a jointly owned account) before you would not have to count the payment towards your qualification.As of this new ruling any debt can be removed from qualification even if the person paying is not  on the loan legally or on the note.

However, if you file a joint married return then the IRS already views you and she together as the taxpayer for both the old and new property so you can't buy from yourself.  

Also, although we, as a profession, may not have the greatest reputation, there are many of us out there who are not rich and who are in the profession because we genuinely like helping people - we still need to make enough to make a living and pay our bills, but we do genuinely want to work with you and your individual situation as well.On a different note, it is funny how it all works.

We do joint leases, but might individual leases work better in this situation?
