I'll gladly exchange a few hours of physical labor to pick the brain of an investor with 25 years of experience (Lesson 2: Come from a place of service when looking to work with a mentor).After a day of driving, loading/unloading the truck, we were approaching home, when my investor friend mentioned that he was looking to shift a property out of a portfolio. 

Note: this comment is not about politics:1) The President doesn't repeal laws2) The House passed a replacement bill for Dodd-Frank in June 3) According to the law of the land, the Senate has to pass the same bill (or a reconciled bill agreed upon by the two bodies of Congress) and send it to the President for signature4) The responsible Senate committee chair set a target of 2018 for their version of the bill, which will require 60 votes and the participation of 8 democrats to pass (edit: 60 votes to end debate and move to a roll call on the bill)Repealing the ACA has shown that this is not as easy as certain people make it sound like it will be.

Building relationships and trust take time and physically seeing the person I think helps.What question(s) did you ask to start a conversation about the possibility of them investing with you? 

I would like to see a physical therapist, dialysis unit or a primary care physician become my next tenant. 

I look forward to the physical copy of the book, but since the hospital is slow today, I am halfway though the book that I downloaded digitally!

Not saying it would happen but it is a possibility and we just made it a business decision moving forward to always get the writ unless the tenant gives us the physical keys.

Or is it considered more "valid" if its a physical fax copy?

Where your lender is physically located is up to you.

@Dymond Shafer Some of this is state-specific but usually my first step is to get physical control of the property.

If it's PA i can tell you if you sell anything or physically do anything there then you would have to register as a foreign co. but there is a line that says if you only invest and it's passive income, then you do not have to register your co. but everyone will tell you should. best to check a states web site or attorney in the state.
