Personally, I would start by diving into recently sold (6months) properties within a mile that share similar characteristics to your home.

There are more characteristics though.

I think overturning some of them will include getting some of the nearby lots to vote on it as there is a clause stating that that's allowed.The thing that scares me the most is regarding the stylistic stuff -- there's a clause stating -- "The homes shall be harmonious with and reflect the exterior design characteristics of these homes already erected on the property" and that combined with -- "it should be lawful for any peron or persons owning any real property situated in said tract, to prosecute an action or proceeding at law or in equity against a person or persons either to prevent him or them from violating these covenants or to recover damages for such violation"My RE lawyer friend said that its such a broad clause that it could potentially open you up to getting sued if a neighbor really wanted to depending on the stylistic choice of your home.

I also can provide context of what characteristics each area has.

The funds may feel safe, but they are likely not as safe as doing your own work.My fictional, perfect fund would have characteristics like the following: - Double digit simple interest yield.- Uses no or very, very little fund leverage (LOC for less than 20% of fund equity)- Lends in one specific location/region that fund managers have deep operational experience in and which has speedy foreclosure laws. - Multiple unrelated fund mangers with deep experience (so one can't get hit by a bus)- Lends at conservative LTVs, stage-gates release of funds based on project milestones.- All loans are in first position, with senior rights.- Lends only to experienced borrowers- Has good liquidity - 1 year lockup or lessThe problem is that no fund meets all of these criteria.

These are just generalities --- each market has its own unique characteristics.

Hi Adam, Since the immediate area may not have many comparable properties, consider expanding your search radius to include neighboring areas with similar characteristics, such as proximity to amenities, major roads, and parks.

Having an LLC does not change the characteristic of the income.If the activity inside the LLC is a rental property, the income / loss will flow to the members / partners as rental income / loss in which case, it would be deemed passive.The member may be considered active participation in which case, there may be an exception to take up to $25,000 of losses.

It is important to consider the specific market characteristics of specific locations, such as the northeast coast of Florida and Savannah, Georgia.

And right now rates are at multi-decade highs after a rapid run up, so the wounds are not only fresh, but the bleeding hasn’t been controlled yet.Mistaken Identity:  If the syndicator on the panel says he prefers floating because he can borrow capital improvement funds, he is talking about bridge debt, which happens to have a floating rate but isn’t the primary characteristic nor the reason people use it.
