I'm a little concerned about the future when Foster is reduced, but like others have pointed out in other forums, that really helped spur growth in other trendy areas. 

But I am looking for someone who can help me properly set things up so I can reap tax savings now, and in the future. 

This can help you get ready to work with other private money lenders in the future if you have already used private money lenders correctly in the past. 

The discussion I would like to start is centered around interest rates and the future of the housing market.

I also would like to acquire my own multi-family properties, as well, in the future. 

Don't try to predict the future too much. 

Here's where it gets odd.Jack wants me to be the sole borrower on the property, on our joint project.Jack wants me to not tell the bank about my source of rehab funds because it'll "complicate things with the bank"The bank has capped my borrowing limit at $250,000, which is above the necessary $295,000 to do the deal.As a workaround, Jack will be the sole provider of rehab funds (personal funds, cash)Jack wants me to give him one of my personal checks so he can write future offers.Is this a strategic way to expedite the rehab-lending process?

we are thinking to acquire a 30 or 50 units apartments in the near future, but every where is expensive and does not make sense, is Sacramento or Stockton having those with good cash flow?

They saw what their parents went through, they don't like being tied down, and they will rent for the foreseeable future.
