There are lots of imminent recession posts on BP (mainly from non-investors) but very few discussions on what members are doing about it.

You need to work with a specialty firm (there are several of us who are active here on the forum who can help you) to create a special purpose, single member LLC.

Ill make this as short as possible.....I have an elder family member who does not want to own a house, she wants to rent from my wife and I as we are trying to grow our portfolio.I currently do not have enough $$ to just go out and do traditional financing to place her.However, she was recently approved for an FHA loan.

I can answer in more detail later on, have a slight crisis with a family member on a broke down motorcycle

Problem is I am in Afghanistan making the cheese and cannot really go to these places and will likely have family members investigate on my behalf.

Hey BiggerPockets Members,I am 19 years old and very interested in long-term investing I have put together an investing plan for myself to pursue investments that I would enjoy working with.

I intent to start real estate investing with my older brother, Nick Seaver, who is currently serving as an active duty military member.

Jay, I tried responding to your response to my pm but ran in to a glitch (it wouldn't allow me to type anything - probably used error, as I couldn't even figure out how to link previous members correctly in this post) so I hope you don't mind a shout out in this thread.  

(you can accomplish the same thing using an LLC where each of you could be 50/50 members and one of you could be designated as the manager of the LLC)Good luck!
