I want to occupy the real estate sales industry as my whole career, i want to start off selling homes for a broker until I have enough funds to live , invest, and sale on my own, or maybe become a broker myself. it's the only thing i can picture myself doing everyday for the rest of my life, and truly believe my passion and happiness lies within RE sales and investing.      

TheCoverage you cite the HOA as having sounds pretty routine- pretty hard to makethem feel  vulnerable enough to want to help.

Every day I learn something new, but I don't get to post a lot because I usually look at the site on my Android device.

I know there are people on BP every day wanting to know about the development business, etc.

I am currently a full-time employee of DirecTV, so i get to travel to all areas of the Chicago market all day, everyday.

We have 2 children Elias 2yrs old and Leilana 5yrs old, and they go to work with me everyday!!

@Dmitriy - did NOT say write check to yourself my friend - I said write a check, which would be to seller - and your observation that loan can not be taken is in direct contradiction to self directed IRA structure - please see video on link above also FYI - we have investors doing this every day, so setting up your self directed IRA with checkbook (as the expression goes) does NOT delete the custodian, it only positions the custodian so that you do not need his/her permission to go to the bathroom - si ?

This is a group of investors who are everyday folks, and the training you get is really great. 

My 2cents there is a lot of LLC fraud going on everyday and yes if the lender loan any money at all they will place a UCC filing.Joe Gore
