I'm also just letting it sit and build up as I have other income. 

@Nathan Platter great resource, thank you 

@Brian Adams

Thank you, I will PM you. 

Your response suggests the answers are not necessarily the same for all syndication projects and perhaps they vary widely between syndicators, and maybe between your own projects?  

I am new to the concept and just fact finding. 

I wonder if you could answer some of them more generically or perhaps offer questions that investors should be asking of syndicators in general. If that doesn't seem appropriate for this thread, I understand.

Hi, Great thread. Confession: only read first 9 pages then jumped to end... a few questions if you don't mind:

1) what are you looking for from an investor? Just cash up front or other criteria?

2) what is the timing for an investor from time they give you the funds to time you make the purchase

3) how liquid is the investor's shares- what happens if the investor dies or other circumstances require sale/liquidation - how often does that happen?

4) Possibly related to #3- is there an opportunity to purchase into an existing deal

5) considering the tax benefits you are passing through to investors, why would someone purchase within an IRA other than that being where their $ is

6) what is the typical % on investment income stream your investors are seeing & is it enough to offset the depreciation thus making IRA a better location for investment, is this case to case or is there a rule of thumb way to analyze this?

I am relatively new to this & only own one rental property so far though looking to buy more. Time for due diligence & research are slowing me down.

I may be thinking about this the wrong way...However I don't see many ppl discuss the depreciation as a factor when calculating the numbers. Am I missing something? 

When I factor in depreciation, it turns what would be a so-so deal cash flow wise for me into a good deal. I'm not saying I don't want good cash flow but factoring in depreciation really changes the calculation.

I like to run the numbers a few ways but when I do look at depreciation, I think of it as if it were a form of income. In that sense it's the most fixed piece of the income on a property since it doesn't fluctuate or require assumptions.

I also think of Realestate as more like "bonds" in a traditional stock portfolio- a form of diversification  of an over all investment portfolio that includes stocks, Realestate and cash (personally I'm not interested in bonds at this point in my life).

Thoughts welcome. Especially if you can show me how I'm thinking about this the wrong way!

Hi everyone, I'm new to BP...joined just to follow this discussion. 

I purchased a SFH rental in Huntsville about 2 years ago.

Our first tenant was a disappointment but now we have a good one. The property also seems to have appreciated about 20% from when we purchased it though that wasn't my main objective at the time of purchase. Plan to hold long term.  

We are ready to purchase a few more properties, and looking at MF as an option, but taking our time with research and still considering other metro areas, though mostly within AL.
