And JUST started my educational journey in mid-January 2013 when my wife gave birth to our twin girls :) Our family, our future, and our time became a driving force behind why I have made the decision to pursue creating assets through real estate.My experience is in Marketing, Brand Management, and Digital Education/Communications.

I drive around my primary focus area almost on a daily basis and I am seeing more and more for rent signs going up each day.

I've found Facebook to be a pretty decent way of driving traffic and interacting with fans & friends alike.

I'd also recommend driving around in the neighborhoods you want to live in and look for signs or vacant houses.

I'm in my car, in front of the house, talking to a neighbor. all of a sudden the electrical inspector drives by slowly. he passes the house & goes 2 doors down, pulls into driveway, stops, pauses, reverses, & drives by us again.

When driving a neighborhood, I find its much easier to find properties that seem distressed - with wood exteriors as brick is such low maintenance.

Surely they can call the partnership an on going business that will acquire more properties.There are business expenses needed for any operation and ones specific to the acquisition and management of real estate.Most notably in this case driving to properties that they need to evaluate, then manage construction, then possibly rent it out and manage the properties.I'd think any marketing expenses and other general expenses should be treated that way.

I like the drive you show to get to the auction house to network.

Remember, you can always change the name, start a new company or use a DBA if your future growth calls for it.

hi all. i was driving around my neighborhood and found two abandoned houses that are in fairly decent shape. i wanted to research them to find out if i can do something with them. the owner of one house died, but he was a loner and i don't think he left a will. the second house looks like it was just abandoned by the owners recently. guess they walked out on mortgage. how would i research who owns the house so that i can contact them?
