Is there a percentage rule of thumb that I should be applying to my property analysis to get a rough figure of yearly capex and maintenance expenditures?

Make sure you are putting away a percentage for maintenance expenses, vacancy, capex, and maybe future management expense.

How do I figure my worth as a percentage in this partnership and make sure I get a fair deal during the next 10 years and when we eventually sell?

Do they cap out at a certain price or is the loan cost all relative to the amount finances (i.e. a percentage)? 

Credit score mid 700, above 740.Current DTI is around 43%, credit cards utilized paid off in full monthly and I carry a LOC which I was planning to pay out but have access to when this deal popped onto my radar.

If I live in it for only one year and then sell it – would 125,000 be tax free (this is what I read somewhere – that if you live in it for a percentage of the 2 years then you get that percentage of the 250,000).

I’ve also witnessed in a lot cases to where if the syndicator fell short of funds for DD, then those funds were raised as “at risk capital” from the investor for a nice percentage of the equity on the GP side.

But the reality is that only a small percentage of people have what it takes to succeed in business or sales.

The things that affected payout were number of units, cost per load and who controlled this, contract length, and ability of people to install laundry in their units.We ended up taking a deal that paid us around 45%, with us completely controlling the per load pricing, the company agreeing to install newer more energy efficient machines, and the HOA agreeing to prohibit laundry in individual units (which was already a rule). 

When you are calculating the pref payout to see if you've made it to X% of IRR to be able to make it to the promote tiers, how do you calculate that IRR?
