read, learn, ask, engage and comment.Set keywords alert and rest will come :))Good Luck!!!

Hearing how to structure things financially, how they achieved financed, chose and engage with a PM, etc. is different than actually doing it.

I engaged my law firm because the agent was rogue and I needed help.

Don't bother, the more we engage these folks the more SEO value their posts and names are gaining.

@Devin Mann, that's really something for you to decide how you want to engage these partners.

Take THOSE funds out, season them in a personal savings account - I'm thinking 90 days, minimum, but possibly longer - THEN see what you can do with those funds.In the meantime - while the money is "seasoning" - learn how to attract and engage private lenders.

You might consider attending a meeting of the Central Arkansas Real Estate Investors Association to see whether you might still be able to find ways to earn money in real estate without violating criminal prohibitions against engaging in unlicensed real estate activity.Best of luck in your new adventures.   

Feel free to PM / e-mail me for more info... but overall, I would say it was informative but VERY sales-y... it felt like after every session there was another pitch for his coaching programs.

Roofstock's CEO Gary Beasley also moderated a session at IMN and did a great job.I'm probably simplifying things too much, but I almost see roofstock as a private MLS.  

I feel like most of those things are overrated though, and if I were to start off running my own brokerage the amount of work would be about the same or more.I would like to move into property management as well and my current brokerage doesn't support that, so I might end up establishing a cloud brokerage myself in about a year that allows other agents to engage in property management activities in CA.
