I have not looked at Homeunion, I have reviewed roofstock a few times (I like that they post "whole portfolios" for sale, that is interesting), but I have been using Memphis Invest for roughly 18 months now and I have several properties with them.My experience is that they are indeed HIGHLY professional and control all aspects of the deal (most importantly from my perspective the property management).This isn't a commercial for them, I am just a customer of theirs, I don't get any remuneration for recounting my experiences, and if they were bad, I would recount them just the same.Memphis Invest is very transparent, they will provide numbers to their clients that list statistics across their 5000 property portfolio. 

From a tax perspective, how exactly does this work? 

It is interesting to see the different perspectives.

Good luckGood perspective.  

This is the reason why it's not a big topic, since most ppl are using information from a sole user's perspective without too many moving pieces; data providers being on the flip side.  

From a lender's perspective (especially a note investor), a sub2 transaction lowers the value of your note because it is a defect.

To put it in perspective my 8 unit in a great neighborhood needed exterior TLC.. a lot of it.

@Jared Skov thanks for this perspective.

But some article I read (it was just talking about how rent income was not increasing as much as expenses) made me think of future of real estate investing, and wanted to hear your opinions and perspectives about future of real estate market.Let's face it, we are taking advantage of people who can't purchase a home to make profit for ourselves. 

I know it’s a broad question but would help to put everything into perspective.
