If the property is in Chicago, there is a version that is widely accepted that is in compliance with the Chicago Ordinance.

In general, the concept is pretty widely known.

Where there are 6 to 10 units in a row that are 40 wide and 60 deep with a small office and bathroom.

I'm actually about to close on a double wide flip next week.

I read everything I could on BiggerPockets on syndications (including such articles as "The Compelling Tax Benefits of Real Estate Syndication") and searched on the wide web and nothing even hints at how a cash distribution (what I often hear referred to as a "dividend") is anything but taxable income like you'd get on a 1099-INT or 1099-DIV.So what is a distribution if it's so independent of the taxable income? 

Hence why industry wide 90% of agents fail & there are a ton of agents running around without any clue on how to transact real estate.A good agent is a successful agent.

It's probably one of the most widely discussed topics here on the site.

Probably the only sellers that would sell this way would be those who have very distressed homes, so I look at these services as more of a wholesaler with marketing on steroids because of their wide reach. 

I wanted to cast a wide net since I didn't know anyone yet, plus each contractor gave me more opportunity to learn as much as I could about the house and its systems.

Is this a widely marketed deal?
