Like was said earlier, this is a marketing business. develop a good marketing campaign and stick to it.

I am a builder/developer that has a client that needs financing.

Thanks everyone :Dand to msedwick:I am most interested in development, but before I just jumped into that I wanted to build up a little portfolio, make some contacts in the industry (other investors, banks, construction, etc..), and move upwards from there.Again Thanks Everyone!!

Simply by listening to the questions people ask you, seeing how prepared they are in dealing with circumstances, and considering how and what kind of offers people write, will help you determine if someone has been around or is just getting going.As for finding investors, REI clubs are a great place to start, as is going to property foreclosure auctions.

For the last 2.5 years I worked for a land development/construction company until I was recently laid off.I have an inner entrepreneur that is dying to bust out and take my experience to the next level.

It works.If you were to get major sponsorship, you could do full developments, catering to the disabled, and disabled veterans.

when, upon waking up in the morning and looking in the bathroom mirror, you find yourself developing a striking resemblance to Quasimodo.....when you find yourself rooting for the anti-hero in a Charles Dickens novel...when you realize that over the years you have gone from reading the "funnies" to reading the "obituaries".....when "bad news" somehow appears to you as "good news" , which you somehow rationalize as "Tony Robbins style" positive thinking.....

I am a Pittsburgh based real estate agent that is looking to develop working relationships with builders, developers, and investors.

My question is: Under the circumstances can the owner make me(us) pay?

I know that anything put into the Rooth is not tax deductable (unless under some circumstances) and it is with a traditional.And I know that you are taxed on the money you gained for that year with a Rooth IRA (according to your tax bracket) but you do not get taxed when you pull out money.
