Based on my extensive research, the data suggests the following success and failure rates nationwide:Success Rate: 70-80% for experienced investors, 50-60% for beginners.Failure Rate: 20-30% overall, with 10-15% leading to significant losses.I’m eager to hear insights from any BP members who would like to share their thoughts.

I could not find the answer I'm looking for when searching.The following example could be used:- Amount invested $100k- Preferred return (5 years): 8% or $8k- Disposition (Sale) (Year 5): $200kThis simple example assumes no cash flow beyond the preferred return, no cost segregation/bonus segregation, and doesn't take depreciation into account.Would the first 5 years of cash flow (preferred return) not be taxed, and only the remaining amount on the disposition would be taxed (e.g. $200k - $100k + 5 * $8k = $140k)?
