I have an investor who said he would partner up with me on my first wholesale when I find it and he has a list of buyers.

What I really need is a partner to join me...should I just say that I would prefer that?

So if you have 1031 in mind as the exit strategy for the property you are buying right now that involves other partners, how would you structure the deal so you can take your share to do 1031 exchange when the property is sold?

Ideally, I'd like to invest in some lower maintenance projects, possibly with partners who are starting out and could use my expertise.Thanks for the great forum, I look forward to perusing it further.

Well my partners and I do a little internet marketing, some affiliate stuff not much be selective, and we invest in a few small auto sale companies.The principles of real estate translate into many other areas.

I don't like partners anyway, but that's another topic.If your tax question is whether to consider all rental income as taxable income (by not claiming expenses), I would say that is a very poor idea.

I am actively seeking out partners to help me begin what I already know will be an amazing ride in the real estate investment world.

Every year I talk to countess "Investors" who: * Have been thinking about investing * Have been reading about investing * Have a friend who failed at investing so that means you'll fail (The elusive friend) * Are saving for a down payment * Are Waiting for rates to go down * Are Waiting to finish their real estate course * Are Waiting for their mentor to tell them to buy * Are Waiting for summer (insert any season), to get started * Are Waiting for the market to straighten out * Waiting till they can afford it * Waiting till they get a promotion * Waiting till their friend or relative can partner with them * Trying to read just one more book, then they will get going * Waiting till they buy their own house * Waiting till they get a raise * Waiting to graduate from college * Waiting till their friend or family member becomes a realtor * Waiting to be married * Waiting till they contribute their maximum to a 401k * Waiting till they get done working on their own homeThen after giving me their excuse for waiting to start investing they ask: * What happens if the toilet gets clogged?

When your prospective tenant warns you that they think they have bad credit and after running their report you call them to see if they want to be a credit partner.

Check the public records and see which attorneys or other have had an inordinately high number of cases, and a lot of success.Generally it'll be one who used to sit on the board of adjustment (is that the right name) or who's partner sits on it.all cash
