My advice is to take the note and keep an eye on inflation, if you see inflation gearing up, sell the note and move it into any hard asset as a hedge.

Involved in 4 smaller developments and many rental properties.

8 months and not a dime caught my eye too.

I would do the numbers see where they are and because you are young and your dad would like to get involved with you I think that is great.

It makes a huge difference as far as eye appeal.

There is probably 50K involved total, so Id like to make this work.

Typically, that might involve fixing something and then doing some rehab work, along with showing a rental or two.

Does it involve business or large land ?

Since there are no realtors involved, you don't need the clauses that protect them.Having a lawyer do it would be safest.Talk to folks at your REIA.

It has to have lead generation capabilitiesalong with the ability topre-screen AND Negotiate for you.along with follow up and more.The days of a simple website that is not more than a brochure are gone.I agree that the interface has to be clean and specific to the KEYWORDS people are going to be searching for.This way indexing of your site is going to be far better than your competitors.There are alot of people who make websites BUT if they are not real estate investors who understand the business processes involved...you are just wasting money and time.You get what you pay for!
