Monuments = heavy machinery that cannot be moved easily. e.g., Raytheons Tomahawk missiles facility or a restaurant in a particular location that fits your needs.

If they are sophisticated enough to do an owner finance deal, then they sure as heck shouldn't be basing the value of the property on the prospective interest payments they plan on receiving.

@Derek Robinson you can invest in Multifamily syndications if you are an accredited investor because most of the syndicators accept only accredited investors but some do take sophisticated investors if you are not an accredited investor and you can sit and see the money being directly deposited to your account and also you can reap the benefit of cost segregation and accelerated depreciation and wash off your other passive income with paper loss in apartment investment.

It is slghtly more sophisticated than what was described above, but you would use a Land Trust to own each property and the Land Trust would in turn be owned by an individual Series of your Wyoming Series LLC.

Also the sophistication level of smaller residential property investors is not at the level that you could count on their calculations of a cap rate if they chose to do so, Much better to look at GRM of similar properties.

@Raymond Mackay I'm by no means a sophisticated investor yet.

Just depends on your sophistication/risk tolerance and how good a deal.Good luck.

(Personally, I don't think this is the best approach for the small mom-and-pop investors because this assumes you consistently reinvest the returns earned into other deals almost immediately and I don't think most of us are sophisticated to do this.)Then if you are looking at a cash-on-cash return, when are you okay with it starting to pay out?

Of course as time goes on and you become a more sophisticated investor, there absolutely is a place for targeted seminars and coaching that will teach you about more advanced areas of REI such as syndication or non performing notes, but that isn't necessary for basic bread-and-butter single family rental investing.Kiyosaki does offer some helpful videos that are available for free on YouTube.  

I didn't read anything about being accredited for Techvestor.Accredited investors are those individuals classified by the SEC asqualified to invest in complex or sophisticated types of securities.To become accredited certain criteria must be met, such as having an average yearly income over $200,000 or working in the financial industry.Sellers of unregistered securities are only allowed to sell to accredited investors, who are deemed financially sophisticated enough to bear the risks.Accredited investors are allowed to buy and invest in unregistered securities as long as they satisfy one (or more) requirements regarding income, net worth, asset size, governance status, or professional experience.Unregistered securities are considered inherently riskier because they lack the normal disclosures that come with SEC registration
