Thanks @John Horner for asking the question - it is a subject that should be discussed a lot more in the "am I ready to quit my job" space.Being an Austrian export who lives in the US since 2008 I can tell you the cost of health care in the US is inflated absolutley out of proportion compared to what I have seen in Europe.

At 33 its possible to diversify at the very least a proportion of your stock investments targeting higher gains.

Base calc would be (sqft taken / sqft of the lot)  x county appraisal of the landthat's a straight proportional allocation of your loss.

Also S corp allows you to take direct disbursements on a percentage of your income that is non taxable as long as it's proportional to the taxable income that you pay yourself.  

Your operating agreement will set the tone as to what role the investors have, but it's just human nature to want to look after your investment so the more a person has invested the more they're going to be looking over your shoulder.Normally, the amount of percentage of equity the investor receives is in proportion to the amount invested, but this is one area where you can be creative.

The question is the proportion of urban density vs. sprawl. 

It's typical to pre-tax 8 to 9% on private institutional deals that invest in office buildings or large apartment complexes, then at yr end via a K-1, the interest and depreciation benefits drop to you as a Limited Partner proportional to your investment % of the deal.

Keep in mind, damage is proportional to the quality of tenant more than to the length of stay.

Good thought on partnerships, I'm starting to test the waters on a few once I replenish my cash from that last 2 deals I did in the last few weeks.To say I'm passionate about real estate is like saying Kim Kardashian likes her own selfies, an understatement of massive proportions!  

It keeps the soil from compacting and will nourish it as it breaks down.
