For instance, a cash partner may not need much in terms of qualifications but a contractor may need more qualifications because it may be presumed the purpose in getting a contractor partner is for their related skills.To find a partner, you ought to start networking at your local meet ups.

@Rahul HandaHaving grown up in the auto industry and still currently working in it, my belief is that the next “crash” won’t be directly real estate related.

I think that last question is the most important and it relates to real estate.

@Ashish AcharyaGive me a shout post 4/15.Right now I generally get on BP in-between clients to de-stress a little.Not a good time to get into a debate and dive into code sections.Perhaps my most recent example was too hasty reviewing the regs right now...The "-3" reg defines structural components by reference to Treas Reg Sec 1.48-1.The term “structural components” includes such parts of a building as walls, partitions, floors, and ceilings, as well as any permanent coverings therefor such as paneling or tiling; windows and doors; all components (whether in, on, or adjacent to the building) of a central air conditioning or heating system, including motors, compressors, pipes and ducts; plumbing and plumbing fixtures, such as sinks and bathtubs; electric wiring and lighting fixtures; chimneys; stairs, escalators, and elevators, including all components thereof; sprinkler systems; fire escapes; and other components relating to the operation or maintenance of a building.We know that a building and building structures are a single unit of property.

First, these are NOT one of those three:1 - Relative or friend wants to be a REI, so you do it together2 - Your future partner does the same thing as you, so you can relate to eachother.There are more, but here's the 3 reasons to form a partnership:1 - Your partner does something important that you can't do.2 - Your partner does something well that you don't want to do.3 - Your partner does something you shouldn't do.

Don't rely on friends or relatives for advice.  

It also means not leasing or financing a car, opening a new credit card account, or anything else that can affect your credit report.Part 3: The closing itselfThe closing process itself takes place at one table (either at the office of an attorney or title company), where buyers sign all documents related to their loan and the transaction itself.

From those calls, you will have learned what your competition is related to lot rent, the sale of homes, how many POH they have, and what incentives you may have to offer as you sell homes.Run a test ad to sell a home.
