My personal investing goals are almost always different from my client's goals, and at every turning point in a transaction, I do my best to respect that line and not try to inject personal opinions.  

Having a signed agreement for each property stating responsibilities and budget, along with the agreement if we go over the budget, we're both responsible for 50% of excess capitol injection. 

I will retire and will get a % in retirement income- my base plans center on this concept...I know I will need to earn at least an equivalent income to maintain my lifestyle so my current pay minus the retirement pay becomes the target 'free and clear' number I am targeting to earn from rentals.2years: purchase rentals such as to meet the requirements above in the Everett area so that I can do it locally and learn the ins/outs of property management...5years: develop (aggressively) rentals in Tucson Arizona to an arbitrary level of 10K/month (this would be in addition to my living income from retirement checks and Everett rentals.7years: (side goal- personal dreams and all...) finance a golf tour across the country10years: Certified/Sophisticated investor status and begin investment journey in other asset classes (if not there already...)These are just loose concepts in my mind, with the exception of course that when I finally do 'retire' from the Navy, I really do have a goal of having replaced my current levels of income so that I don't have to work for others unless it is something that I really want to do.I see my primary focus as being in the buy/hold/rent arena, but I am not discounting other methods including wholesale and fix/flip projects for capital injections periodically.Finally, I see a lot of value in the Rich Dad encouragement for folks to get into business.

Buffet so it stands to reson that an injection of $40k cash would make anyone happy.I do understand your long term startegy and believe you may be in an area and situation to support such a strategy, my only opinion was that buy selling now and getting $40k cash, you could buy 2 properties with your $80k or so and own one outright increasing your cash flow which you stated your self was your goal.

If the LLC has no money to pay for the defense, you'll be injecting money into the LLC yourself to cover the legal fees, just as if you had no LLC at all. 

Financially, we have about 40k pooled in our fund now, and inject about 15k each year (before any gains/losses).  

Please inject any clarity if there is anything wrong with this statement)With that said, how do all of you mentioned above best network with RE agents and other wholesalers?

All expenses are paid by the IRA, all income flows to the IRA, and you cannot inject value into the IRA by giving the IRA free labor.With the ROBS program, you can use existing retirement funds to capitalize a business, but the business will be a taxable C-Corp.  

The lender may ask for additional equity injection, security or alike from both you and the old borrower depending on how strong the property is in today's market.

There is a machine that injects a plastic liner inside the old pipe.
