Jon, i don't have time to devote to 1000's of leads...i'm trying to pursue a music career and use real estate as a supplement..the wholesaling thing is just a way to generate extra income..so i'm happy w/ 100 or so leads even though the most i ever got in a month when i was trying to actively wholesale was maybe 15. who are the NOLA people u refer to?

I have tried talking to the people who hold the sale and they tell me they can't give me legal advice, and then refer me to a lawyer.

I can help review those with you if you make the list…Again, think like a regular buyer….

To answer the question from phcapital, yes, you do get tax benefits of depreciation with a TIC as well as regular income distributions from rents.As stated earlier, they are ideal for someone who wants to have ownership of larger scale retail centers or office buildings they otherwise would not have access to with the amount of capital you have to invest.The only tricky part about them is the exit, which was also stated earlier.

You did have to have some form of ag going on, but often a few goats was sufficient.I think Tim and Rick are referring to conservation easements.

I would have phone numbers and references for shelters and other resources.

Also, the buyer wants to work w/me on a regular basis as well!

Mike, yes, if your referring to REOs through MLS, that is a waste from an investor standpoint, if he is attempting to make profit from flipping.

I am not looking for a better interest rate than regular hard money or less up front points or anything, I understand investors are looking for a return.

As you build success collect references so that you can let others speak for you.
