Relationships, in my opinion, are still the most important aspect in business.

Thanks Clay, that is exactly why I am here- interested in real estate because of the control aspect.

There are so many aspects of RE that you can venture into under the banner of a Bar License.

Also, a plus that I believe is a very beneficial aspect to having a debit card through a credit union is that whenever I go to pull out money anywhere - be it in a 7-11 or a any other ATM - they don't charge extra fees to pull out money like a bank would.

Note Buyer" here on BP, it's a long thread with points made about creating a note and marketability aspects.

What is the legal obligation made, then the legal aspects as to the collateral, then to the legal obligations of both debtor and creditor, then to the financial aspects, time value of money, financial risks, types of financial arrangements to limit risks.

Only you can figure that out.Too many aspects are unknown here to say take this or that or that what he is offering can even be accomplished. :)

I utilized a real estate agent to sell the house.To avoid being overwhelmed, I focus on one aspect of the rehab process at a time.

I currently live in Madison, WI (Verona to be exact) and I want to get into the buy and hold aspect of REI.Ideally, I would like to live in one unit and rent out the other; however, it has been quite a challenge to find any kind of property that isn't super expensive, and will return some good rents...End of the day, I love Madison and would like to stay here.

I've been on here for a while and been a member for a while but most of the stuff I look up have been mostly buy and hold investing and wholesaling - which would explain my relatively lack of info on rehabbing compared to the aforementioned aspects.
