Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books on this topic, or you can learn about it by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.

This is an interesting situation, and one that I almost navigated with my mentor prior to his passing this last year.

This campus hosts a large Magnolia home goods store, high end furniture store, cupcake bakery, coffee shop, gardening shop, live music concert venue, large grass area with toys and balls for kids to play with, an open plaza with eight food trucks, a small baseball field (that Babe Ruth once played on and families can now play on for fun), a restored historic chapel (the oldest chapel in Central Texas), and six boutique shops with men, women, and children's products.

Many tenants will stubbornly refuse to acknowledge their situation and dig in.

(Note, I'm not a tax professional or attorney, but have done a lot of research into this area as it is relevant to my personal situation with family members.

If it does and you can't rent your house traditionally without covering $1,000 a month in costs, and you can't sell because the value isn't there, then you're in a pretty frustrating situation. 

You set the GPS, drive to the ice cream parlor, buy some ice cream, and now your kids are happy.Now, consider the next few questions:Did the ice cream parlor lift a finger to get you in their store?

Bifurcating the asset and operation, putting the wealth behind an "iron curtain" and arranging the public facing side of things in a manner where it is a conveyor belt of throw-away entities with little to no value stored themself, IS a viable approach. 

I could possibly offer content on what NOT to do in some situations, including syndications....

I'm not currently taking the classes as I'm about to close on my first house here in a few weeks and wanted to get situated with that and the move.
