    Getting pre-approved for rental property

    REAL ESTATE 
    Are you using a "series LLC" to accomplish this? I always thought the gurus who said they held EACH property in a separate LLC were full of BS (for SFH's at least) as it's just not practical to have 25 different check books, business credit cards, etc. and especially to prepare 25 different tax...

    Easy Video Landing Pages

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Lately I've been struggling mightily with building video pull pages ... since I'm pretty new to web design AND way to much of a perfectionist, I've been wasting HOURS trying to get things just right. I finally found an awesome tool for creating "plug & play" landing/squeeze pages. It has...

    Getting pre-approved for rental property

    REAL ESTATE 
    Some good advice in the above posts. If you're getting into a property that requires heavy rehab, your best bet will be private/hard money. Pay cash, get it rehabbed and rented, then go for conventional financing. The hardest part is feeling *confident* that the permanent financing will...

    Like Free Money? Evidently High Schoolers Don’t.

    Pefect example of an administrator that could care less about helping their students... After introducing myself and providing the application to the principal of one of the eligible high schools, I didn't hear anything for over two weeks. I then followed up asking if he'd received our...

    Like Free Money? Evidently High Schoolers Don’t.

    The scholarships are actually for students at select schools in East Texas...basically the area served by this particular organization. I personally contacted administrators/counselors at each of the schools and sent them the applications. This actually COULD be party of the problem....if the...

    Like Free Money? Evidently High Schoolers Don’t.

    I am currently the chairman of a non-profit organization in the oil and gas industry. All funds generated through the organization go toward scholarships for kids pursuing engineering-related degrees and grants for science/math teachers. My deadline for scholarship applications was up this...

    Australia/99designs...Copyright THEFT?

    I saw the same thing happen last time I ran a contest. 3 or 4 designers jump in at the last second after looking at all of your feedback for the other designs and basically rip off the one you've been perfecting. I'll bet it happens with nearly every design with a sizeable prize... I guess...

    PROGRESS THREAD: (MonTexan) New Venture – e Marketing

    MARKETING 
    Not yet as I haven't picked a particular niche to really attack. I've worked with a gutter company, a graphic designer, a mortgage broker, accountant .... if I decide to hone in on one particular niche, I'll most likely create a directory. If I continue to get qualified referral leads in...

    RE partnerships

    REAL ESTATE 
    You mention that “we†are going to start with $100k cash, and then say that you will have no management interest – only cash. When one party is the “money guy†and one is the “sweat equity guy†partnerships can get dicey. My motto is to never partner with anyone who cannot come...

    How do you all keep your books?

    I can't say for 100% certainty because I haven't been audited - knock on wood - but I've always heard that you have to include names, places, topics discussed etc. on your receipts (meals & entertainment) and this would be hard to do w/ statements-only. I certainly don't send all my receipts to...

    How do you all keep your books?

    Originally I tried to use Quickbooks but I found that there were too many "gray areas" when it came to categorizing each and every thing. I tossed the Quickbooks and went back to trusty ol' Excel. Keep decent records (credit card statements alone probably won't suffice in an audit) and send...

    Rob Williams - Part 3 (Almost broke to millionaire in 3 years)

    EXECUTION 
    Re: Rob Williams - Part 3 (Almost broke to millionaire in 3 years Wow, I thought the phone call was going to be a negative after reading part 2. Was also a bit surprised to see your $1M equity on the $2.5M portfolio. It seemed from reading your story that you were leveraging the properties...

    Seller financing?

    REAL ESTATE 
    If you go this route, it's important to keep your end-game in mind. You obviously want to capture the equity spread between your purchase price and sales price, and FHA is probably going to be your buyer's best bet for permanent financing. There are certain note servicing companies that are...

    Was just reading an article in Entrepreneur magazine about a gal that writes ghost blogs for several well known people. Evidently Kiyosaki is one of her clients. Here's a quote from the article about a Tweet she sent out for him: "For one of his recent seminars, which cost attendees $5,000...
