I'm a seasoned businessman, going on 10 years in government construction business, and I am pretty vast on research, even I am scared of joint ventures, you can't cover all the what ifs, and even my lawyer can't offer me full protection and full money recovery within 6 months.

I'll be at a local REIA meeting on the 28th at the downtown library.  

He got a job he could do on-line and worked from the public library each day; they would attend auctions to buy furniture on the weekends.It took a bit of faith on our part; their application was impossible to verify.

In the vast majority of those cases the reason there wanted to do so is because they were short of funds, so they wanted to pull their IRA funds into the deal "enabling" themselves to do the deal they otherwise were not able to do.

Now how will the lenders, mainly the large banks, view this vast number of hugely "under-performing" loans?

The strategies employed to invest in the property differ vastly depending on the phase of the process the property is in.Traditionally, there were two points in the process in which an investor could acquire the property, either when it was auctioned on the courthouse steps or after the bank had regained title and sold the property on the open market.

Yes InvestorFuse is built on top of podio for Real Estate investors, with the help of their staff they can setup your contracts to be printed and mail with a click, e-mail follow, text followup which get's logged back into the activity log for that seller, track activity of each lead (well that's kinda built into Podio anyway) do one off print and mail postcards and track campaign ROI.Their staff has been super helpful although it email/ticket based, scheduled training calls are available, also there's library of recorded webinars. 

I am open to all cities and states, so long as there is low crime, good tenants and solid cashflow.I have been trolling loopnet for the past few days, and it seems that the vast majority of properties either don't break 1%, or just barely break it.

Debt on property:  If you have a mortgage then that can be 70%+ of AGI, plus the 20% PM costs and your deal doesn't pencil very well.Volume:  The vast majority of landlords own less than 5 units, 1 rental unit is the most common as expected. 

Wholesaling takes the most knowledge of all, but is an option for the capital-challenged.I'd go to my library and check out a RE book.
