How can one  be positive when joining a crowdfunding  group that that group is registered or otherwise exempt if this is a new group starting out? I have tried contacting  but the answer I get is that they are just ra...

Remember where there is a will there is a way :) Consider connecting with seasoned investors I am sure there;s something /services/skills  you can bring to the table in exchange - atleast to get you started.  

Couple things that come to mind is that dollar will further strengthen as foreign capital will flow into the U.S.

Otherwise, you'll pay foreign entity taxes on top of your your yearly LLC fees.Having said that, I would personally open a LLC for each state I'm investing in.Run your business like a business.

At most, a foreign attorney could apply these questions to their particular jurisdiction, but that is by no means good guidance for your particular case.Generally speaking, from a Virginia perspective and not from any other state's perspective, the plan you propose would generally protect you from a great deal of unwanted attention from the Courts.

A Google search should work for this.2) Equity - the private investor gives you $32k in exchange for x% of the property's value + income.

Hi All,Does anyone have any recommendations on good companies to do 1031 exchanges with in the Houston area? 

@Jacob Smith thanks for the offer I will in fact be at Pewaukee lake Thursday thru Sunday and going to the state fair.. it been 30 years since I have driven up your way.I bought a Cirrus in Duluth in 04  and spent a week flying around N Wi in transition trainging and landing at a bunch of the airports there went into Oshkosh flew over packer stadium etc.fond memories.one idea you may have to scale is take these clients and bring them on as equity partners.. you do source manage do rehab work etc in exchange for equity and they go on the loan with you.I built a pretty big portfolio with this model.. got up to 350 doors then sold out in 2013. but if you have good cash flow there and your totally under the radar..
