This idea was tossed around at a REIA meeting I attended earlier this year, so input from the forum experts is welcome.Also, I was under the impression there are some age related restrictions on certain holding periods - is there any real truth to that?

Feel free to join our meet up and attend the meeting tomorrow at the wine loft downtown at 6:00.http://www.meetup.com/Birmingham-Real-Estate-Investors/

I have read and re-read all your comments and admit to being seriously concerned as I can get no closing documents despite having paid up some eight months ago although a friend who attended the seminar in Britain with me last summer has had his closing documents and has also had an interview over the telephone in respect of his SRAP cashback with the Mississippi Development Association.

No need to buy somebody's course once you understand the basic concept.There are certain programs from differnet levels of gov't that subsidize housing for various "special needs".For example, I attended a presentation from a county mental health worker who was seeking landlords who were willing to house those people in the mental helth program who were ready to transition to living in "normal housing".So the only challenge you have is to identify the gov't levels that have subsidies for housing, and which groups are given the subsidy.

Not even close.I'm going to attend the AZREI monthly meeting tomorrow and ask some questions with respect to this.

There's a couple active meetups.http://www.meetup.com/Real-Estate-Investors-Associ...http://www.meetup.com/Wichita-Real-Estate-Investor...http://www.meetup.com/Wichita-Real-Estate-Investin...I have not been to the last one I posted however try to attend the first two.

I'm newer to the scene and have taken a lot of value out of attending and networking at CIREIA.

Last night I attended a real estate club meeting at my university and applied for an internship at a real estate company that does brokering, property management, etc.
