I left a lot of money on the table because my CPA was not familiar with accelerated depreciation at the time.

I’m looking to connect with:Partners who can bring resources or experience to the table while I handle the heavy lifting of deal-finding, analysis, and management.Investors interested in deals with clear strategies and long-term potential.While I’d prefer to build a portfolio for the long haul, I understand the market always has buyers.

Let me explain....Once I learned what others in the group were being fairly compensated (also from Hunter), I quickly realized that I had left 7 figures on the table last year due to my lack of knowledge in this area.

I can't imagine being in a partnership with someone that brings nothing to the table but expects the same return as you do.

Beneficial Ownership Information is back on the table.

This phrase "Are You Leaving Money On The Table" could mean that you may have missed out on money in a deal that was there for the asking.

I believe I hear what you are saying though, for sure -- that it's better, more fair, and more likely to get deals, if you yourself can show up to the table offering something.... in hard cashbut you still have to know how "fix and flip" works, how to renovate something, how to negotiate.... what contracts to do, how long things take.... etcthat was the concept I liked about Gator, is that it's a team that passes that niche off to the other person, who is good at that - and they can all structure deals together.... you have the deal guy.... the money guy.... the fix and flipper guy, etc. -- and they find deals that could be good for all of them - and everyone is helping each otherI think BiggerPockets will be a potentially pretty reliable place - I know that there's different roles, "finders", "buyers", "sellers".... maybe I can just find deals, and connect people together, and get some kind of small finder's fee for it, or something.... ok so that first 10-20k is important to just be able to provide - when getting into this....

A foosball table, a "Log Cabin (or other trendy) theme", or 3-jet shower probably have a better place in an STR than an MTR.

There is a "sponsor exemption" but that only allows an unlicensed person to raise money but it cannot be more than 50% of their duties and the pay they receive cannot be based on how much they raised.If you have never raised $, a family office will be off the table as they typically want the company to ahve atleast $50-$100M in assets. 

There is a saying in business, "If you're sitting at the poker table for more than 15 minutes and you don't know who the patsy is, you're the patsy."
