Post: Wholesaling Joint Venture

Hello everyone, I am beginning to network with local wholesalers and was wanting to do a joint venture. What I want to do is get their permission to assist them in wholesaling their wholesale deals. Is this considered a joint venture or is there another definition for what I wanting to do?
Also, how would the process work beginning from my standing as the second wholesaler?
Thanks
Jose

Hello everyone, I am in the process of selling a piece of land I bought a long ago via a tax deed sale. I plan on doing a quit claim deed to transfer ownership of property. Are there other forms such as contract that I need to make it formal?
Thanks

If the highest and best use is for residential development... and you know that a finished house would sell for $XXX,XXX.XX then a typical developer would buy the land for 15 - 30% of the total development cost (land + soft cost + hard cost).
What I do know is that its a huge development, where track style homes will be built.

Hello everyone. I am interested in selling a piece of land that I bought many years ago. How specifically do i go about evaluating the land in order to set a sale price? The land is inside a non-developed community, however it does have some paved roads and some dirt roads.
Thank you

This is great. I have recently downloaded Podio and wanted to begin customizing it and this helps.

Maybe stay away from "We Rip You Off Properties, LLC" and all will be well :)
Sure. I was wondering if there were any perceived benefits to one type of name vs another.

explained it well however to add... The reason is that we want the letter opened at the highest open rate possible so we stay anonymous and personal on the packaging to build a sense of intrigue for what is inside. It is hard to be personal with a business. We cannot hug AT&T.
If you care to test how intrigue plays on a mind then try the following... This Christmas don't wrap any gifts. Just leave them in the packages and the bag they came in and put them around the tree... See how that goes...
How do we stay anonymous?

Of course. It pays to be mindful.

It wouldn't hurt to get some questions answered. I have met with attorneys for questions and to know if they would make a good fit for my team also. Make sure they don't charge just for "networking"

Hello everyone, yesterday along with a question I posted here on BP about PO Boxes, I started wondering how and if a business name impacts a real estate transaction. I have not yet incorporated, however my wife and I already have a name selected. What is your opinion regarding business names? I will post my proposed name if you all believe it's correct of me to do so.
