So, I'd like to take out 100k (for him), 20K (to pay off the current mortgage), 15K (to generate a fund for the building)....so about 135K total.I am a complete newbie at this, but the fees and hidden costs are really detracting me from moving forward..can someone honest help me out on a course of action, or a decent gameplan?

That's how close it seems we may be to the edge....trueworldhistory.info, jim rogers, max keiser, peter schiff, jim grant. check out these and see what the hidden from tv experts have been saying for the last decade or more!

One local RE CPA I consulted with will set it up for $4000 :crying: I've seen a website that will provide state specific forms and instructions on how to set up your own SDIRA for $125.

I’d sent in a letter to my realtor and for the seller stating that I wish to terminate this transaction / contract if escrow is not closed for the last time on that day, as per my real estate attorney instructed me to do (have reached the end of my alley); she said I don’t have to lose the 3% of selling price even I’d signed off the contingencies.

Visit your state's Secretary of State website for forms and instructions, and for the requirements for each business entity.Here in Texas, all you have to do is fill out a form and pay $300 and you've got an LLC.

Also, maybe I am not seeing hidden potential in Los Angeles that an experienced investor here knows about.

I set up an account with eRentPayments.com and emailed him the instructions on how to set up payments.Also, when we went in to check on the toilet, we noticed that there seemed to be extra tenants (a girlfriend or roommate and possible children) not listed on the rental agreement.

While everyone else is chasing that hot new listing, I'm searching for those hidden deals.

Now most of us don't have to be as thorough as him (he was hunted by Spanish authorities for a while), but there is a lot of good info about keeping your home address hidden, how some private investigators found seemingly impossibly hidden people, and horror stories about people who didn't take some basic precautions.

Also I noticed that the plaintiff maximum bid is often hidden, why do they do that?
