Only agents can attend or participate as there is a security law issue for deals across state lines.

For example, you completely ommitted advertising, management (even if you do it), maintenance (even if you do it), legal expenses, evictions, setout fees, damage done by tenants (in excess of the security deposit), entity maintenance, utilities paid by the owner during rehabs and vacancies, capital expenses (although not technically an operating expense), lawsuits, etc, etc, etc (I could go on and on and on).The good thing is that you're at break even, so this is not a disaster.

You make a loan and get a trust deed back to secure the loan (in CA that would be the 'normal' structure).

They are required to put down a security deposit and I am getting better rent then what the area would normally bring in.

These are bad and should be removed.Gas furnaces of any sort must have both good venting so the combustion gas exits the house, and must have a good supply of combustion air.Jon

Two or three board members and the management co feel threatened, to the point of wanting law enforcement security at the next several meetings.

Look at the Security Deed and/or any Assignments and look for MIN followed by a 15 digit code.

Correct me if I'm wrong:1.A wholesaler finds the deal from a motivated seller. 2.Secures the deal with a "subject to" purchase agreement. 3.Flips the contract over to another investor.I understand between 2 &3 the wholesaler is marketing the property to investors, but what is he telling the seller all the while.

And that he has to pay interest on the security deposit after the second year - which he didn't.

At first I wanted to start out with stocks/bonds/debt/securities etc.
