As for the family project, if you’re okay with a smaller return in exchange for long-term value, it’s worth considering.

How do you decide whether the potential return outweighs the risk?

Hello, I recently returned from an internship in the countryside of Japan.

Buying rentals for cash is VERY conservative and will take a long time to amass a decent portfolio.Leverage is how to grow your portfolio and wealth faster.Simple Comparison Example:1) Buy $100k property cash, it appreciates 5% in value annually => basically a 5% return on your investment ($5k/$100k).2) Buy $100k property with 20% down, mortgage rest.

Section 8 in Toledo = Disaster...Just my opinion.They don't like us and talk $#@% in us so I'm returning the favor heheMuch success

Have you explored creative ways to structure these partnerships to maximize returns on your deals?

At their expense.They then must return the property to it's original condition.

Plenty of experience preparing multi state returns and handling things of that nature.

Upfront expenses and monthly payments must be considered when calculating the return on your investment.EXAMPLEYou cash out $100,000 of your equity and use this as a down payment on a $400,000 investment property.

It is also important to note that the stepped up basis would flow through to the deceased partners estate K1 and estate return to start.
