We did not fund the last few million of the raise, so we are allowing the final slots to come in at up to 20% APR, fixed annual simple deferred return (deferred means you get all of your interest earnings at the end when we repay your principal – and that happens when we finish building and then sell the apartment complex).This asset is our safest MF asset, in my opinion, BECAUSE the project is backed not just by our equity in the apartments – but by our equity in the entire 54-acre land development.

In general, it is always good to look at the taxable value every year for your property while you still own it when the tax statement comes.If you feel you can support a lower taxable value with sold comparables that are like your property nearby, then it is worth your time to try to dispute the value.It is true there is a very short timeframe to schedule a time to go in and dispute the taxable value with your local property tax assessor usually and the deadline is printed on the annual tax statement.The reality is real estate does not always go up in value.To your success!

I spend $500 to get an extra $4,200 of rent over the course of a 12-month lease, leaving me with a 740% annualized ROI.
