Anybody know of good individuals at raising capital in Miami (private placement or otherwise) for a great project in Miami Beach that I have under contract, with great upside potential?

Each person's income and tax scenario is different and you should consult with a competent CPA to discuss your individual situation to get advice tailored for you.

Hi, BPers, could anyone let me know the pros and cons of buying and holding residential properties under a company, versus under individual?

Developers cannot get loans from banks to start building, the individual RE investors cannot get loans to buy finished or pending properties.

They wouldn't provide me with any info without the original borrower's authorization.

I'm an out of town REI (california) looking to find a MF (<20 units of 1br/1ba preferred, doesn't have to be individually metered) in San Antonio, TX!!

It is my understanding (which is limited mind you) that I would need an authorization to release information form from the seller so that I could obtain a reinstatement quote/letter from the seller's lender.

I will get the details by getting more info from different authorities etc.

And they weld authority like their a king and the other residents won't grow a pair and stand up.The last board I delt with had a guy that would send you a "friendly" letter and a picture of you trash cans if they were on the street for more that 2 hours after the truck went by. 

It's rather pointless trying to lead the blind if you are not a visionary (sorry).Until a property has a principal or someone with standing (capacity, powers and authority) to sell, encumber or oasis marketable title, it's pointless to plan too far ahead.
