My macro point is that it's getting much easier to both learn as well as get some budget-friendly solutions.Still, you have to put some time into it.    

My friend and I are looking to go into buying a townhouse together from a lady that wants to release it back from us.

@Chris Mason is helping a friend of mine buy a un-warrantable condo from me in Vallejo.

Let's say a couple friends and I want to invest together, and all three of us live in different states. 

So, I've been approached through a friend for an investment in a large scale hemp farm (couple of hundred acres). 

So I have a friend with a beautiful newly renovated home that they have outgrown and looking to sell...I do not have a license and they don’t want to pay a listing agent fee if they can avoid it..

Hey Tom, I have a friend that specializes in purchasing and selling multi family properties in the twin cities.

Lowering an effective annual return because you don’t want me (as an investor) to “get used to” an above-average return treats me as though I’m an petulant child and that I’m too foolish to see that it’s for the benefit of the GP’s tax rate.

What if the way that I get the cash together is pooling money from a group of family/friends and paying them back after I do the refi?

Drywall, paint, tiling, trim, and that's about all I want to handle haha.I need to establish a good set of contractors, I so far only have "family & friends," not bonded, so a potential liability...
