I specialize in purchasing condominiums in Connecticut and then proceed to rent the units out.I look forward to networking and learning other methods of purchasing real estate.

There are alternate methods of financing, but it seems like a traditional lender would be able to help you on this one.Seems like you'll be able to make some money on this one if you can nail it down.

Companies like Countrywide and Ameriquest have already been snagged for screwing the customer ... using existing regulations.I also think that the banks are not too concerned about foreclosures because the market is tight.

Well, unfortunately, adding a bath or bedroom does not necessarily add value where an appraiser is concerned, except probably in the square footage.

I JUST DID MY FIRST SUB2 DEAL AND LEASE/OPTIONES IT OUT 5 DAYS LATER FOR A PRETTY NICE BACK END (IF THEY EXERCISE THE OPTION IN 18 MONTHS).I THINK WE'LL ALL AGREE THAT REAL ESTATE INVESTING IS GREAT BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENT METHODS AND OPTIONS.EDUCATION IS DEFINITELY THE KEY.

Al:For a wealth of information, and even an online source for "simple land trust", I would go to www.landtrust.net Get a complete education concerning the use and application of land trusts from an expert.

I am not trying to knock your interest just trying to highlight concerns .

You will just have to find a deal and "sell" the idea to her if she is needed to make it happen.On your personal assets, if you are concerned you can talk to an estate planning lawyer and discuss personal and family trusts to hold assets.

If you are looking to personally profit (other than a salary) from your own not-for-profit company, then, as all cash said, you will most likely be on the wrong side of the law.As far as LLC's are concerned, that is a great way to invest.

How would I go about finding the deals to sign up(same method as for lease options?)
