Agree, starting with your state Realtor's contract is an option, and lots cheaper than having an attorney create one.

Do you create websites that are catchy or do you build a name and a brand that can roll with the times?

It's funny how we apply this rule to direct mail and forget it when creating the image of our business.

Ironically, it is the buyers and sellers themselves--not the property or it's price-- that cause complications that create many sleepless nights for agents.

I have enjoyed visiting this forum and find it to be one of the best on the internet.I'm new to REI and have a very ambitious short term goal of creating a minimum of $7,500/month income from real estate so I can quit my full time job and do this full time.It appears from my research that the most viable area for me to focus on is Wholesaling in that I want fast results without using much of my own money or credit.I respect the suggestions of the more experienced investors on this forum because I believe experience is the best teacher although it can be painful and expensive.So I'm excited to be here and look forward to some great times.Much Success!

Go to a few and see which ones you feel better with, get a better vibe to, etc.There are many "bibles" of wholesaling, but not all are created equal, nor will all of them fit your strengths.

Did you spend the money on legal costs of creating the partnership before or after you secured financing?

Have I created new investors - YES.

There is talk of a new entity being created to provide insurance for money market accounts like demand deposit accounts.

As this mess deepens look for more states (if not the feds) to adopt punitive measures designed to "protect" homeowners from a problem Congress created.
