They develop, they build, they finance, they property manage, they will have HAO, cleaning crew etc. etc. etc. so the subsidiary companies make money every step of the way.From investor perspective: The investor pay $15 K to reserve the right to purchase 25 multiplex over the year of next 5 years. 5 each year.

I try to pay off all loans as fast as possible because I feel like money wasted on interest is overlooked sometimes as people only focus on the amount of money coming in rather than the amount saved.As of today, I'm just focusing on establishing the best systems to analyze the markets, find properties, get financing, make wise renovations, and manage my rental properties.

If you don't get to know them and build some trust, you're just going to be dumb money or "the guy from California" that they up charge 20-100%.

Because of the additional income I am producing through the consulting business, I am afforded the opportunity to invest money in real estate.  

@Andrew Drasch As an entrepreneurial CPA, I believe that mastering your craft is essential, and that investing money strategically leads to greater financial success.

Maybe $100 but thats not including saving any money towards unexpected expenses...

You have the money, but you really want to buy it with a loan for some reason.

What skills do you bring that are superior to those you want to raise money from?

That said - I think a simple muitual fund would give me better returns on the same money ($900k) at 8-12% (i.e., $72k - $108k). 

I wouldn't take that money to buy him out I'd liquidate and move into better asset class like extended stay development or 3 story walk up apartments
