I don't advertise and I don't participate in group referrals.  

Hello everyone, I have never participated in an internet discussion before but I figured BP is a good first go.

Nonetheless, it looks like I used poor choice of words and it will not happen again.Thanks again and I look forward to connecting with you someday and also participate positively in your fine marketplace.Vinny Lopes

Account Closed  now to be like Fox news fair and balancedone does have to be mindful that banks can change policies.. so you do need in my mind a healthy balance of private capital or your own and banks or other lenders as well.07 to 09 saw banking FREEEZE for us in the business I had almost 30 million in various credit lines out and they all got called Save one.. my core bank kept my 6 million working with out it I would have not made it.. the rest did not care and I had written into my loan terms that if they called these facilities I had 36 months to pay them off and I needed every bit of that time to do it.. but I can proudly say I did not default on a one and paid it all back and the agreed on interest. 

Never tried any of the rest, but might now that I had to write them out and think about them. 1) Go to every architect, interior designer, top real estate agents/brokers, loan officers in town and shake hands, drop off do-nuts, take them out for coffee/beer and do it regularly. 2) Hit every REI meeting in town and offer to speak at some about the multifamily and spec building process. 3) You may consider joining and participating in whatever local business communities you are in. 4) Offer referral money to subs. 

Like participation in asset management fees etc. 

I want to be able to improve the property somehow, create equity, and a place that someone is proud to rent.Solid fundamentals.

Me either, but that’s just one of the benefit that SEC 8 offers landlords who participate in the program.....In low income neighborhoods, landlords are significantly better protected financially with a SEC 8 tenant than a non-SEC 8 tenant."

When I have previously checked into this with my accountant it seems their are very specific tests to pass to be considered a materially participating passive investor, namely that you must spend half of your time and at least 750 documented hours in passive real estate to qualify to deduct depreciation. 

I'm a very proud new member to the community.
