I am just getting into real estate right now but just wanted to share briefly because I found myself in a VERY similar situation.I was a biological sciences major at Clemson and realized my junior year I wasn't going to follow that route.

to provide a comparative market analysis for 'similar' properties that have sold within the area in the last six months.

Tom,You are missing a point here.The object is to have only ONE loan.The LLC gets the loan, and the LLC is tehn sold to the new buyer.Larry,That is another very similar alternative as well.

Pure bunk.If you could do the following:* create a website for TBers to leave their info* get door hangers and flyers and bandit signs up for TBer to be driven to Web Page* get TBers money together, whether it is a loan from Household Finance, or loan from their parents, what ever* convince the Seller that the sales price is a new appraisal, period, at the time the TBer gets financing approved and funding letter is typed up* learn about credit reports and clearing negative marks (Fair Credit Reporting Act, FTC, etc)* have a goal where 10% down payment is arrived to get good rates* have the seller pay closing costs* you as an agent get 3% now, 3% when it closesThe challenge is helping both the seller and TBer get a win win, not easy.i.e.

Use the text in your web pages to describe specifically what you have to offer, especially if it is a certain geographical area or niche.

Find recent solds in this area for similar properties.

I wish to pay either a set interest rate on a type of renewable 1 year bond (Similar to how some insurance companies accept investment) Or 35% net profit on my individual investments from the investment pool (The business is related to buying and turning foreclosure real estate).Any help would be appreciated!

I have found them to be very helpful in introducing me to others that have similar goals as me.

Additionally, I can say that these techniques can and do work, as I have used similar techniques on more than one occassion.

I also think it's crazy in this day an age for a consumer not to pay 12.95 a month to have ID theft monitoring set up over at equifax, or similar trusted provider.
