If a limited partner is in a tax bracket (earning less than 50k per year) approximately how much would they owe in capital gains after the asset is sold? 

While it's been an okay experience, I haven't felt like I'm gaining the knowledge I hoped for; if anything, it feels like I'm moving further away from it.

@Joel Siguaw, people who do well with anything are those who gain a passion for it.

You are INVESTING here, that means YOU are the one taking the risks of loss because YOU are the one with something to gain by the investment performing.
