Mention which properties they would consider selling.

The builder offerred $15,000 credit to be applied, however you wished EXCEPT can not be used for price reduction.

I think you can go as high as 15% but it's cutting into your margins and depends if you are a GC yourself or not. 150k is close to a million or more.

Your investment property - This you could do a 1031 exchange on and buy another property you intend to use for investment. 

I think about this often, its really just running the numbers - if you borrow 100k at an 8% interest rate, will the investment get you more than an 8% return?

Which is a tax when you do an active business in your IRA but it is essentially the same thing. 

@Mark Cruse thanks mark - that's the vibe I was getting as well, super negative and not informative (from one person) This was a success story just on raw numbers - there are obviously more expenses, but some took it and seemed to take it at face value which did leave me to get defensive which I shouldn't have. side note - knowing how to communicate and navigate this community seems to be the key.

By higher I am talking 7% acquisition fee, which is much higher than the standard 2 to 4% that you will see with other syndicators.
