I think the approach I'm going to go with is to simply allocate a portion of my profits towards enjoyment, I think that will keep me interested enough to keep building bigger but without getting burned out.

Things I learned in my first job that have continued to prove valuable today: underwriting, managerial accounting, private equity deal structures, what a side letter is, what investors want out of deals, what a K-1 is, why real estate is a valuable investment class, what asset allocation is, where to find tenants, what cam is, how to handle Capex items in sophisticated underwritings, loan docs and negotiating terms thereof, understanding a lease, what an estoppel is, what a phase one and phase two are, how to read a PCA, basics of land use and zoning...Oh and best of all, I got paid to learn all of this stuff.  

I haven't had this exact same setup, but with my deals we usually allocate the equity splits based on roles, responsibilities and what you are bringing to the table. ex.

Re: CapEx and Maintenance, are you suggesting that instead of allocating 5% for Cap Ex, 5% for Maintenance, and 5% for Repairs that I just budget for Cap Ex and Maintenance (each at 5%)? 

Individuals will owe the tax if they have Net Investment Income and also have modified adjusted gross income over the following thresholds:Filing StatusThreshold AmountMarried filing jointly$250,000Married filing separately$125,000Single$200,000Head of household (with qualifying person)$200,000Qualifying widow(er) with dependent child$250,000Taxpayers should be aware that these threshold amounts are not indexed for inflation.If you are an individual who is exempt from Medicare taxes, you still may be subject to the Net Investment Income Tax if you have Net Investment Income and also have modified adjusted gross income over the applicable thresholds.NII consists of the sum of three categories of income reduced by any properly allocable deductions for each [Reg. 1.1411-4(a)].

I dont have to provide any accounting although tenants tried to tell me how to allocate the repairs.

Here is generally how the strategy plays out: when a sponsor acquires a property, performs a cost segregation study, and takes the bonus election, the portion of the property's value that is allocated to land improvements gets depreciated 100% in the same calendar year the property was purchased.

And you can allocate your proceeds anyway you want. 

Given my portfolio is solely under me within multiple LLCs, I am not exactly sure how to efficiently structure the business to be able to allocate equity in the portfolio.

Also seller is not interested in Delaware Statutory Trusts at this time.Additionally, cost of structuring and servicing the note are of interest.Since I am not able to give advice on taxes and legal matters, I thought I would reach out here.Thanks in advanceMattDRE 02100289When the gain from an installment sale of the depreciable real property consists of both unrecaptured section 1250 gain (25%-rate gain) and adjusted net capital gain, the taxpayer recognizes 25%-rate gain as payments are received before recognizing any adjusted net capital gain.29 This “front-loaded” allocation method is consistent with IRC § 1(h)(3), which defines adjusted net capital gain as the residual category of capital gain not taxed at higher rates.
