Ideally, I would hope to find some people that this could possibly turn into a partnership at some time in the future.

Individual....if there is a cash offer then they could care less if a cow is buying the property...just as long as they get cashed out.

It doesn't sound to me as though you have any DAMAGES, and you if you're planning on suing the INDIVIDUAL it is likely a WASTE OF TIME and MONEY.Over 95% of all judgements against individuals in the US are WORTHLESS.

I just joined BiggerPockets and am excited about both the opportunity to meet individuals with real estate investing backgrounds.

Everyone has been different.I ideally it would be great if my buyers loan was for 294,000. 290500 would go to the first and another 3500 would go to the second.

Does the loan need to go to an LLC or can it go to an individual as sole propriator.

This is probably one of those things I should just go ahead and ask my CPA, but I thought I would see what the experts here thought first.I was wondering if a cash out refi or massive home equity line could be used to shield an individual from capital gains tax upon sale.

I'm currently in the process of trying to find individuals whom I can borrow money from and/or partner up with to build up a rental portfolio.

Ideally I'm looking for someone locally in the Los Angeles, CA area.

On one hand I'm thinking that I should naturally try to get a multifamily property so that I can ideally escape paying or at least reduce my rent.
