The officers of an S-Corp MUST take a "reasonable" salary from the S-Corp (which is subject to Social Security and Medicare tax).  

I'd Say the "best" market is subjective to what you paid and cashflow.

Its a subject to consider on making the deal more appealing to them and Brandon Turner often mentions making a multi-part offer that includes a different total price depending on how much of the amount they'll carry.   

And Ryan D and David Dachtera might want to consider abstaining from speaking on subjects they know nothing about.

As real estate investors there is a great deal of opportunity in “subject too” and/or “wrap” transactions.

Real estate is one of my favorite subjects, so I'm excited for BPCON. 

By population growth, landlord friendliness, city size (I LOVE big cities), economic diversity, my budget and a few other factors.So Indianapolis is one of my winners which I am looking into more seriously. 

They are the ones putting their money at risk in lending it to you.If you are relying on Capital, then you use your savings of $50k to buy a house Subject To or on a Wrap and start investing.If you are relying on Knowledge, you team up with someone who has either Credit or Capital or Both and you provide the marketing and acquisition, then the rehab if you are doing rehabs, then the sales of the property and your partner provides the Credit & the Capital.

I followed up on a few of the earlier ones and they made me kind of uncomfortable, as they would not subject themselves to any sort of screening processes, wanted to do business outside the platforms, etc.However, I am continuing to get more of these- and i am thinking that maybe just because these people are not native speakers (chinese i believe they mostly are) that maybe I am just misunderstanding them and/or miscomunicating andd it is possible they are legit?

That is a really great question and because I am not well enough versed on the subject and am definitely not a lawyer.
