Reality is few markets have out performed San Diego in residential ROI and no one should be choosing a different market based on historical ROI.  

HI Robert, I live and operate a few RE related business out of the Westerville area.

@Emily Anderson look up Anderson Business Partners on their website and YouTube. 

The Attorney that wrote up the contract does business in SA and Austin.

A personal loan (business line of credit, cash advance, loan from a friend, etc) cannot be used as a down payment with a lot of the lenders I work with since these loans are not secured by real assets. 

As a mobile home investor myself, I find that talking to people who work in the business has helped me many times in the past when it comes to due diligence, market research and referrals. 

I’m marketing my business proscopeatl dot com, I’m brand new to this group also and don’t quite have the do’s and dont’s figured out for posting my website.

But as a disclaimer, I have been let down by a contractor who was recommended so it is not the end all be all if someone is recommended, but it's a start.The problem is, to get the network up and running and continually doing business: That is finding projects, analyzing projects, offering on projects, securing financing for projects, fixing projects, selling projects. 

Purchase price: $80,000 Cash invested: $15,000 Turn key business with renters in place.

Hi Lahiru,Great question, if your wife has been considered to meet the threshold for "Material Participation" in the business, then you would be able to take these losses.
