Quote from @Timothy Franklin: This thread makes me wonder if this is a big enough problem that it would be worthwhile addressing?

Do you have any suggestions on how to go about this?

If you haven't already connected with an investor-friendly lender yet I'd highly suggest that.

"The value of the property and how it’s distributed relative to ownership stakes will determine whether it counts as a taxable event"That is what I was wondering about. 

I will suggest you plan to House Hack a Duplex or Triplex or Fourplex every year for the next 4 to 5 years and you will thank me later.Goodluck man and keep us posted on your progress!

When I maintained my position that I wouldn't be paying 10K up front, Dmitri then insulted my section 8 investing knowledge and suggested that if I wasn't ready to move forward, then it was because I didn't understand enough about section 8 to begin with.

I wouldn't suggest you buy a single-family home to live in because the additional cost outweighs the benefits.

My one suggestion: do not conduct business with anyone (here or anywhere) without having your lawyer and maybe even your CPA reviewing all the paperwork.Also, stay far away from LPs.

I suggest using a service like Mayistay.

I'd suggest taking a free course like that provided by Pete Reese at Land Conquest to get your feet wet and take some action.
