And you can also buy them when they're beaten down and underpriced due to market overreactions like currently, due to rapid rise in US 10yr rate.I've read and watched multiple Good Egg offerings and they are typical of many feeder funds and to be fair like many primary GP/syndicators as well for both taking on unnecessary risks and also charging confiscatory fees, as #1 they have no skin in the game and #2 they get a big cut up front whether project fails or not, find GPs that are investing >10-15% of their own cash into every deal.good luck and sorry this happenedlooks like they are a fund of funds setting up crowdfunding to invest in other offerings.

Deduct NEW property taxes after you buyDeduct home insurance costsDeduct maintenance percentage, typically 10%Deduct vacancy+tenant nonperformance percentage(we recommend 5% for Class A, 10% Class B, 20% Class C, good luck with Class D)Deduct whatever dollar/percentage of cashflow you wantNow, what you have left over is the amount for debt service.Enter it into a mortgage calculator, with current interest rate for an investment property, to determine your maximum mortgage amount.Divide the mortgage amount by either 75% or 80%, depending on the required down payment percentage - this is your tentative price to offer.If the property needs repairs, you'll want to deduct 110%-120% of the estimated repairs from this amount.Be sure to also research the ARV and make sure it's 10-20% higher than your tentative purchase price.As long as the ARV checks out, this is the purchase price to offer.It is probably significantly below the asking price.
