Bobento asked:


I am buying a house for $150K for investment purposes with two other individuals, “Man A” and “Man B”. The current value is $400K. We will split the profits from the sale 1/3 each.

“Man A” is single, owns a home, has excellent credit, wants to sell within 6 months and is contributing 1/2 of the purchase price.
Man B is single, does not own a home and has a huge outstanding debt and horrible credit. (He is our connection to the house). He has no preference to sell right away or keep the property for several years. He is contributing nothing toward the purchase price and agrees that his name should not be on the title.
I am married and own a home, have excellent credit and am interested in keeping the property as an investment for several years. I will contribute the other 1/2 of the purchase price in cash.
Should I take title with Man A as individual tenants in common? Or is it better form a partnership? Any ideas on how to pay off Man A early so I can keep the house?

I need some good advice on whether I should start my California-based real estate investment company as a sole proprietorship, a partnership of some sort, or some kind of a corporation. The general purpose of this company is to purchase and rent out residential and commercial real estate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

music zone asked:


I have a house for sale at an excellent price, no realtors involved, and want real estate investors to take note. How can I persuade the person in charge of our local real estate club to distribute my e-mail regarding my property? They get solicited all the time, I’m sure. I already e-mailed my property offer and photos to the generic property investment club e-mail address, is this enough? Will they distribute it to all of their members?

I’m 19yrs old second year in college, I have a income of $48,000 a year and I want to purchase a 3 family home for investment property. I have approximately $5,000 dollars with a credit card debt and $10,000 in savings and I’m living in the state of New Jersey. If not a 3 family, what is the best real estate investment for me at this time?

socks asked:


We own 2 investment properties that we are unable to sell and can no longer make the payments on. If we foreclose on them, what are the consequences? Can the bank come after us for the difference once it sells them? Can they come after our house? Will we need to hire an attorney for anything or simply walk away and let the foreclosure goes its course. We do realize this will remain on our credit for 7 years but do not wish to file for bankruptcy. Thank you for your informed answers!

Jonah A asked:


I am involved in a 3-way investment on a rental property and we are being forced to sell because of a DOT project. Our profit on this property will be approximately $75,000 and we need to figure out how to split this up. Being close family members, we weren’t too concerned about figuring this out we bought the property.

I would really appreciate any suggestions from real estate investors experienced with partnership investments like this.

Here are the figures for the capital and work/mangement invested by each party.

Investor #1:
Invested $150, 000 by taking out a regular home loan.
Lived at the property and payed “rent”.
Did 85% of the maintenance, improvements and rental property management.

Investor #2:
Invested $75,000 from a home equity line of credit.
Did 0% of the maintenance, improvements and rental property management.

Investor #3:
Invested $25,000 from a home equity line of credit.
Did 15% of the maintenance, improvements and rental property management.

Thank you!
