Because real assets become more valuable in inflationary episodes while debt instruments become cheaper. 

Great realtor that was instrumental in negotiation process with a tough seller who is also an agent.

This investment needs to be held in a holistic portfolio and is subject to covariant risk/return patterns along with other financial instruments. 

I found this on Google:New York law provides that “[n]o natural person shall ask or receive, directly or indirectly, compensation . . . for preparing deeds, mortgages, assignments, discharges, leases or any other instruments affecting real estate . . . unless he has been regularly admitted to practice, as an attorney or counselor, in the courts of record in the state” (N.Y.

@Mark DavidsonYes, a Solo 401(k) can use debt-financing as you suggest, so long as the debt instrument is non-recourse and everything is isolated within the plan envelope. 

Here in TX, there are title plants that have staff at the county courthouse or datafeeds to get a local copy of every instrument.

Start by pulling the recorded instruments related to the parcel.

@Michael Schumpert hard money lenders or private lenders would not require syndication as those are debt instruments, rather than equity interests.

Id rather use that financial instrument than take a chance on 0% financing off a credit card for 12 months, only to see it balloon up to 30% on the 13 month if you decide to carry the balance should things not go exactly as planned.

MaayanI agree @J Scott just make sure you meet with an attorney and put your partnership agreement in writing and create all the proper security instruments to protect the investor and their estate.
