Many people waste years, in no thousands of dollars, before coming to this realization.There is still a roll for you to play, even if you're not "passionate about real estate".Think of it like a live professional sporting event...There are players on the field, fans in the stands and vendors (usually selling fan gear) inside and outside the stadium or arena.Everyone has a part to play, and when it goes well, everyone has a great time.The folks on the field are the ones who should be on the field.

I am just getting into Real Estate by obtaining my license and working to secure an inspection franchise.

Better job security and I am not subject to his/her rules/standards if they become outlandish.

I am wanting to sell some very secure cashflow from NNN leased commercial property with BBB- or better national credit tenants.

In the first instance, you simple need a partnership agreement (or a company) with you as the operating/general partner to make it official.In the latter case, you may find yourself in the realm of securities regulation which will add much more cost and effort to your fund raising.

Technically that is not correct, and could bite us in the butt, but I haven't had to fight it yet....After they vacate the property, within 45 days, you need to send them a final accounting of the damages, cleaning, etc and how their security deposit was applied..

@Bryan Hancock  Also I defiantly think this regional as well.1 million in certain markets for low value asset players can go a long way.in our markets here in Oregon and yours in Austin that's one house maybe 2 .. at least new build specs.and in most of the bay area or better parts of LA its one if your lucky  Same with high dollar east coast or north side Chicago etc.

In the past, it wasn't worth dealing with an aggressive tenant, so I just waited it out (after experiencing enough loss of sleep).What you might consider is offering the tenant a portion of their security deposit back on the day they hand over the keys (if there's no damage) instead of making them wait, in exchange for cooperation in showing the unit.

I kept getting denied so I got a secured credit card.

Which in theory you can do whatever you want with - but the investor won't have their asset secured by real estate.
