That’s not a level of assistance that I'm confident I would have received outside of that community.

I just received a quote from my AC company, these are the two options we received:Option #1: For a 2-stage Rheem heat pump system the total price will be $8,340.00.Option #2: For a single stage Tempstar heat pump system the total price will be $7,280.00.The property is a long-term buy and hold, so we plan on owning for the next 30+ years ideally.

If I show all my assets now that equal a down payment to get the ball rolling and start shopping for properties in my price range, but plan on using income I will receive over the next few months as a down payment could that work.

I have a newly remodeled 5 bed 3 bath house perfect for a family, yet I'm unable to receive any offers.

They would receive equivalent money plus an interest rate better than a savings account (plus less volatility if they wanted to put $$ into stock market).   

Website had no useful functionality; every booking was ultimately done manually after receiving phone calls/emails from their representatives.

How can I structure the contract or investor payout terms to ensure they feel secure and confident in receiving a solid ROI?

I have done a lot of reading on all of this, and know that I cannot deduct expenses (HOA, interest, etc.) greater than the amount that I am receiving in rent if I make over 100k with my salary.

There's lots of great tax pros here in the forums but you will receive different answers here because they don't have all of the nitty-gritty details of your specific situation and strategy.If you don't have a tax pro you currently work with for tax filing, I can recommend some to you that we recommend through our REI bookkeeping firm.Let me know!

I find saying you're doing it to "learn" is better received then "i'm doing it to save on costs" since they may get the feeling you're going to micromanage them and scrutinize the budget.
