I'll start there! 

So the question becomes based on their individual and personal tax situation what is the estimated tax burden they'd save? 

Any advice on starting out on this in the Houston or Katy market?  

How did you get started in real estate investing?

I sold that in 92. next iteration was 2002 when I started a new lending company in Portland OR to specifically fund Turnkey buyers in the mid west doing BRRRR loans we killed that.

I’m starting to feel a little confident about moving forward.

I think you should start by understanding what it is your investors want out of the deal, analyze how the returns compare to traditional investments, and then see where you fit into this deal. 

I plan on starting out next year with a small plug and play solution to have minimum risk.

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

Lenders or investors who have short lock up periods but have years of experience feeding their business with new capital would give me more comfort but anyone who is just starting and is promising a rate of return or return of capital in a set period of time would be alarming because they very well could be reliant on fresh capital to make good on that promise and that usually ends poorly.
