Each of them sought the property for their primary purpose of worship/office/etc, and then sought out additional uses as well - nursery school, food bank, place of worship for a Jewish congregation (Saturday versus Sunday), auxiliary space for the local library that needed additional educational space, counseling, etc.There is merit to your concept, but many factors come into consideration:  zoning, parking, how easy it is to "convert" space, etc. 

It should also make potential LP's more comfortable knowing you have considerable skin in the game plus the fact you are profiting from the merits of the actual deal at time of sale rather than collecting fees.

The best advice I can give is pull the trigger on something that makes sense to you and learn from it.

Hi Sharon,It sounds like you're in a situation that requires careful consideration of various factors, both financial and related to the property's condition.

Now it's time to pull the trigger.  

This includes individuals who primarily have W-2 income from employment, basic investment income, and perhaps own a home or have standard deductions.Rental Property: If you have one or two rental properties and feel comfortable managing the related expenses and deductions, tax software can handle this level of complexity, especially if your transactions are straightforward and well-documented.Complex Scenarios: Hiring a CPAWhen to Consider: As your financial life becomes more complex—such as owning multiple rental properties, running a business, dealing with investment incomes, or having special tax considerations (like inheritance or foreign income)—the benefits of hiring a CPA increase.Cost Consideration: Hiring a CPA typically costs at least $1,000 to file your taxes, which can increase based on the complexity of your return.

I know that in the states I invest in the sale of the property triggers the assessors office OR the school board to know that there has been a sale of the property, most likely at a higher dollar amount than the prior purchase.

Inflation is a consideration right now. 

The Other Income line should be below your Net Operating Income on your P&L and flagged as credit card rewards so it isn't taken into consideration for taxes. 

@Brianna Johnson you’ll need to find out from your mortgage company how much extra you can pay into an escrow account because many have overage triggers where they’ll send it back to you if it goes over their limits.
