I actually hope you disagree with me and shed some light on this, but in addition to not having the time/need/desire to get my license, I think it would have hindered many of my conversations with sellers to date.

@Arn CenedellaThe problem will all these future projections is that they require assumptions to be made about the future.If you assume RE will go up 10% a year and stocks 8%, RE will be the answer.If you assume the converse, funds will be the answer.I have never placed much faith in future projections.Depending on what assumptions, you make you can create any answer you want.

@Roy N.I am aware of thatThis conversation was extended further back@Nicholas WhitesideAsked if you can purchase a property under under your personal name then transfer to LLCThen asks if that is applicable in CanadaYou definitely can get financing for your corp but your corp will likely have to be on the offer and not your personally name.

That's a conversation to have once you have an offer is infront of you.

In this conversation the fictional property wasn't going to be refinanced to pull any cash out and was going to be put on a regular 30 year note.

Here are some recommendations for you:Read Beginner’s Guide: http://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investingCheck out BP Podcasts: http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/category/podcast/If you wish to tag someone in the conversation on the forum, type @ followed by their name and then select the name of that person which should appear below the comments box.

I'd recommend getting your personal balance sheet, tax returns, schedule of real estate owned, and resume available for these conversations.  

Jacque Fairbourn I had a conversation with one of the reps of DoHardMoney yesterday and was told that 3K is a deposit, out of which I will get most of the money back after the first deal sells, except for $650 or so for inspection and appraisal which will be part of the closing cost.
