I myself have used BiggerPockets to close multiple deals so I am happy to contribute and give back anyway I can....Happy Investing-Steven McLeod

I look forward to learning and contributing.

My question here is, is it possible to raise private money and syndicate that money into a legal entity that would then join as a member of a separate LLC for the purpose of contributing capital to fund new construction?

Great thread... can't contribute anything to the mix but I learned something.  

How do I go about putting this deal together and would section 8 continue to contribute to the new payments?

The focus of the group is on member contributions, member led presentations, and member investment strategies. 

I was contemplating to do the same as Keith Fowler by pulling out my 401k that I do not contribute too anymore and take the hit.

., thank you for the contribution to the post.

I don't like the uncertainty, so I am going to continue to contribute until I retire. 

@Frank Fan, Generally contributions of property into an entity for membership interest do not create a taxable event.
