What would be the best tax strategy for us as a partnership, is there one type of partnership that is more advantageous than others regarding taxes, and how do I hire a lawyer without all the retaining fees up front?

People will pay thousands to hear the big name GURUs try to teach them how to invest, so why not pay the small fee of a local REI club to find out how to invest where you are from people actually investing where you live?

What I would do is to order (have the seller order), a pay off from the note/s holder/s, showing what is owed on the property to include taxes and legal fees.

Sounds interesting, but the big names provide support like you can't imagine.So what is the fee per transaction, and the monthly?

They don't have an annual fee and you can get your security deposit of around $500 returned to you in 6 months.

This was not just because of the common AU practice, but more likely the huge growth in the firms offering the trade lines for a fee.

SO based on that you have to calculate your purchase cost on what the cash flow and what management fees are. go to the store and check out the CD and offer generator package I think its $140 I don't buy much material just 2 programs in my lifetime and this is a good one.

I also have another partner so to speak, who will be doing the negotiating for me on the buying and selling of my properties for a 20% fee.

They're not going to give you carrying costs, though, and any advertising fees will come out of your own pocket also.

Some HML's will charge a commitment fee if they have to hold the money, and you don't use it.
