Thanks @Maranda Robison,  Yes I too am looking to be involved in deals where I am part owner of a property.  

I would like to connect with like-minded investors, brokers, lenders, PMs and any other people involved in the real estate industry.

I am a relatively new Realtor, and don't personally know a lot of Realtors involved in investing, or have yet been forthcoming, so I'm branching out. 

Has anyone had any involvement with Real Estate For Life?

I've always been fascinated with real estate. i believe that as my marketing company matures and needs less full time attention, that i'd like to get involved in some form of real estate investing.

I do practice in your jurisdiction and my firm and I do have cases involving discrimination based upon source of income.

IRR is far superior in its ability to account for leverage and the motions you have to go through to calculate it force you to have a deeper understanding of how the the money flows through a property.However, the biggest problem with IRR when looking at Real Estate is that so much of the estimated return is based on your exit valuation, which depending on what sort of real estate you are involved in, can be absurdly difficult to calculate.The important thing isn't to decide which metric is better than others, it's the ability to separate out your revenue, expenses and cashflow to see where all money goes.  

There are three houses involved but I will share one just to see if I am accurate with my numbers.  

Finally, if use of 1031 exchange treatment is part of your plan, there are issues that arise when an LLC is involved which must be considered.  

PS unless there is a commission involved I will run credit and hold their hand thru the process.
