QUOTE (stocdavw @ Aug 30 2007, 03:31 PM) Thanks for the replies, guys. I was thinking JV anyway. I just wanted to get a few under my belt first on my own.
I would suggest you start sooner than later on the JV, assuming you have the capital, you can maybe do one more if your TDS is an issue... or you could JV as the $ partner with someone who is alignment with your values and goals. Either way, starting to JV and utilize all the points in the JV Secrets is best suggestion. When I lost my job, Don told me to go out and JV - 4 years later, I have purchased 51 properties with Joint Venture Partners. Russ is buying 2 per month right now.
Why wait? now is a great time! After the long weekend, ask everyone you meet how their summer was and when they ask back, tell them you were busy buying, researching, and working on your real estate business. If they show interest, set up a meeting with them to talk about what is possible.
Good luck!
