Tempur Sealy, the world's largest mattress supplier, is divesting 176 Mattress Firm and Sleep Outfitters stores to gain approval for its $4 billion acquisition of Mattress Firm.

To answer your question, the advantage the GP has is control, and the ability to gain wealth from their equity position (hopefully not so much for asset management fees) by selling at a big gain.  

We are in a situation, we had sold SFH investment property in March 2024 and didn't buy anything and have about $100K in capital gains. 

Then start finding properties and I would encourage you to lean towards finding less riskier versions of that strategy at first and get your feet wet, and after you gain some experience you can start evaluating different options and offshoots. 

Thank you Ned, that is exactly right, we actually check a condo/townhouse about 2 weeks ago, the thing was a condo with a basement, I cannot tell if it was a condo or townhome, anyway, the ceiling in the first floor was bowing, the 2nd floor, one of the bedroom was sinking, could not tell how this damage was done but the walls came apart from the floor, you could see the roof of the unit bowing inwards towards the structure a bit, and their "general contractor" estimate that for 5k they could straighten the property and level everything, even 1 window and 1 door looked so uneven that you would think  there was something wrong with your eyes...5k for structural damage, good luck with that one, we ran as far as we could from that....but we have seen they do inflate their ARV, since we learned the hard way , we go through these deals with a magnifying glass, I knew I was not so picky, numbers do not lie.Another thing that caught my attention, which I do not know if I am overly suspicious now that I am older, but they want to get the closing for us at the same time/day they are getting the property from whoever they buying it, which it seems to me they try to save on the closing by having a "dual" closing when in reality is just 1 closing and we are the one paying for it...I do not know there are few things that do not click right with this folks.

Southern impression is primarily a single family home builder and their floorplans are all too large for profitability. they are overbuilding each unit and adding unnecessary things like garages that don't get you any income and only drive the construction values up. a garage on it's own isn't with much more than what it's built for and doesn't really add to the equity gain in new construction 

I thought it would be best to gain experience, instead of picking up a job in facilities.

Pay attention to all the details and just the Disney culture in general.

Roth IRAs offer tax-free growth, meaning that rental income, appreciation, and gains generated within the account are not taxed, but you cannot take advantage of deductions like depreciation or mortgage interest on your personal tax return.

As we flipped this ourselves from the roof to the flooring, we gained much respect to labor workers and realized even the tidiest things such as changing the outlet covers and installing new plumbing will take up a lot of time!
