A Real Estate Investing Idea
You all know that one of my goals with the new blog is to expand the focus outside of simply business credit and add more information on personal credit and making money with credit. I have explored the option of forex trading and spoke briefly about creating a forex fund or offering managed accounts so that you guys will have access to these alternative investments.
A few years ago, I was considering starting a real estate syndicate. Basically this is where a group of people will invest money in order to invest in real estate. I was speaking to one of my mentors today and telling him that I think now is a great time to do so. I have been giving advice to a client of mine on which real estate markets are relatively stable and accessible when I realized that this is a great time to reconsider starting the real estate syndicate. Although it is very possible to purchase real estate with business credit, forming a syndicate will allow for a smaller initial investment by each individual which will spread the risk among the individuals. In speaking, we were considering a minimum investment of $1000. We have seen a number of homes in the south miami area and houston area which seem to give a pretty good return on your money, when it comes to renting and with the bottoming of real estate prices, the potential for an increase in value is very likely.
I will like to get some feedback from you guys if you think this is a good idea and if you think it is something that will interest you.

February 16, 2010 at 7:00 pmYou have to watch the SEC to not be illegal Throwing money from different individuals is called pooling and there are stringent rules on this Alan Cowgill has a course on all of this stuff, and the SEC rules Private lenders can be for each individual house with a first mortgage position to secure their money investment with a vsisible asset Also, if you use other people's money across state lines the SEC will get on you

February 16, 2010 at 7:04 pmI spoke to my attorney about it a couple weeks ago and he laid out the rules on what needs to be done to do it correctly. These are just the basics. Each house is bought under a separate corporate entity and the corporation will be owned by a number of people who invest initial capital. All the houses we are looking at will be cash purchases. I have already paid for the attorney to draft all the legal paperwork to make this legit..

March 7, 2010 at 4:49 pmHelp, I am trying to start investing in real estate, however, I need some capital. I am looking for either a Hard Money lender or private. But the catch is I need the money first, but whoever would invest in me, it would be very lucrative for both parties. Thanks, Debbie

March 8, 2010 at 2:06 pmDebbie, What are you trying to do exactly? Buy, fix and flip? buy fix and rent? why do you need a hard money lender? Do you plan to refinance after it is fixed? Do you have the credit for that? Send me an email to marc@creditrich.net and we can go through some details.

December 9, 2011 at 2:54 pmThere are so many ways to make money in real estate without investing nothing but time. Of course having money makes the process a whole lot easier and quicker. I stay in Jacksonville, Florida and the the market here is a gold mine right now. I like your style Marc and I can see you are a go-getter like myself. But not only a go-getter , I can see you also care about people. I definately look forward to us preparing notes and ideas that could benefit us both and the people that reads these blogs. Email me and I will send you my info.
