Hello everyone, my name is Elie and am newly subscribed to BP but have been listening to the podcasts for a few weeks now. I am also a fairly new investor, having acquired our (my wife and I) first rental property les...

So I guess first of all...http://www.consumeraffairs.com/misc/armando-montel...4 Star rating on 25+ reviews on consumer affairs, doesn't seem overtly sinister...

I'm hoping to get some assistance to grow and learn. 

I have a small portfolio of 3 units currently, but looking to grow to around 10 next year.  

We also buy rentals to grow at the pace we wish!

Also, on the iPhone 6 or 6 plus the keyboard grows to an abnormally large size (which normally means it's formatted for the 5).

I was originally intending to use these funds for fix and flips, but since I cannot be involved in the labor aspect and I will get taxed at 40% ( UBIT ) on the gains, I am looking into lending this money to other fix and flip investors so that my gains can grow tax deferred.

My goal is to grow my network with other like-minded people and gain as much knowledge as possible. 

Greetings BP Fam,I am considering growing my business.

In Las Vegas, for a short time they were the way to go, but the market out here has shifted and short sales in most cases are no better than a bank owned and the bank owned is a much quicker straight forward transaction so the need to pursue what is often a messy more time consuming transaction isnt necessary.
