By getting several interested parties involved at the same time you will be able to get a better price.

I urge everyone here to get involved.

As a married person how do you invest in Real Estate and not have you other half involved.

When you purchase or sell homes with the LLC, the title company or lawyer doing the closing will need to have a copy of your operating agreement and tax ID for the closing file.

I'd consider going to a local real estate club - there you'll be able to meet many people in the area involved, including realtors.Good luck.

I'm thinking about the following1. form an LLC of which all owners are members and are all actively involved in the day to day operation of the business2. we make decisions together, though most of everything will be specified up front in the operating agreement (what we will buy, how we will spend money, and how we make decisions about when to buy, when to sell, etc)3. make sure to include clauses about "how people can leave and get their money back" and "how we can force someone out of the group" -- these will all be family/friends, but you really do never know what will happen with people and money.my questions are:1.

Whether you like the guy or not, its pretty fun to read about the big deals that he's been involved in.There's a bunch more great business books like i love, but those are good places to start!

I've been going to the courthouse and getting the probate files for the past few months.
