@Eugene Brown how do you want to grow?

I am a regular person (not realtor or agent), what are the steps to buy from Crexi or LoopNet? 

My partner however is NOT a real estate professional and won’t be able to capitalize on the deductions as much as I will be able to due to their share of the “loss” being a passive loss.

IRA funds can be used to make investments only; they can't be used to buy a residence.

An average market would be at 6 months of inventory. 

Here's to your success,

The are I grew up in declined severely and I am hoping to do what I can to give back to the community and raise the property values.

if your doing a senior project I would suspect your best and most cost effective landing solution is going to be a local community bank that loves real estate.. in my experience most will want 50% down on the dirt and a ton of experience and a really strong balance sheet.Myself I always pay cash for the dirt this makes finding a lending partner much easier.

I'm ready to start expanding my MTR portfolio and am currently in the "educate myself" phase.
