Biggest issue right now is understanding how to access capital and how to properly analyze properties.

Operating expenses include taxes, insurance, management, maintenance, utillities paid by the owner (including during vacancies), advertising, entity maintenance, legal fees, evictions, court costs, capital expenses (not technically an operating expense), damage done by tenants above the deposit, lawsuits, office supplies, etc, etc, etc.Mike

can someone please clarify exactly how to secure a property with my name on the title that i am investing in--i am providing the capital for rehab, we have a contract for sale to end buyer--i want to collateralize my capital with the property--there are no other liens on it-- how do i do this?

I would love to make a lot more but I dont have a lot of capital/credit for improvements.

I am interested in commercial property, and wholesaling property to build capital to invest.

This will be the only start up capital we will have is what we make off of this property.

Likely capital gains will be higher in the future as opposed to lower.

This would help me identify and analyze good deals and further my education while created additional capital.

Also, I'm assuming your paying capital gains tax?

So I'm starting a Property Investing firm with a good friend and our plan is to develop capital in the beginning by flipping single family homes.
