They don t need to speculate on the “ maybe” of RE appreciation when they can earn a passive 17%+ tax free return from their leased STVR property/s. 

I was targeting a 20/80 GP/LP with a 12-13% IRR with a 2 hurdles +14% IRR GP/LP goes to 30/70 +15.5% IRR GP/LP goes to 40/60.These will be usually 25 to 50 unit infill multifamily deals usually townhomes or apartments I would love the feedback  Hi Ken, coming from a drunk sloth level passive LP perspective, you have a fair approach, however the projected IRR is lower than most current offers out there so may be difficult to market to cursory investors, but your 80/20 is quite reasonable compared to most others.

By giving them "Free" commissions and doing a deal with them, you gain more credence. 

This allows you to close and begin generating passive income while you are still studying.

My current primary ( scenario 1) Keep the primary for the life of the loan ( current rate is 4.5 so i dont see my self refinancing anytime soon)current home value 1,150,000Loan amount 935,000appreciation estimate 5% per year after a 28 year hold and the house is paid off I would have a house worth 4,312,000$my current mortgage is 6125$ ( piti) included My second option( scenario 2) Sell the house, walk away with $150 ,000 ish in hand and put that into a low cost index fund Rent a house elsewhere for about 3000$ ish and take the extra 3000$ im saving everymonths from not having to pay my mortgage and puting that money in the index fund as well I ran the numbers on both of these scenarios and doing what I mentioned above would break even at about 28 years meaning my stock account would be worth 4.3 million just like my house would , but the only is that holding a house for 28 year would mean 28 years of property taxes, loan interest ,home insurance and repairs etc whick I calculated to be about 1,200,000$ at minimum which raised my eyebrows to say the least Also i understand that each of these options ( stock market vs real estate ) will have there tax consequences ( long term capital gains) so any thoughts on that would be appreciated as well.  

feedback from successful small Multi-Family investors in the Charlotte MSA and Southeast to gain your thoughts, experience, and outlook on the current and future market for this kind of product.

If you do that, it goes on Schedule E like a regular rental, but the difference is that the tax loss isn't limited by the passive activity rules on form 8582.

While flipping houses taught me a lot, I soon realized that I wanted a more scalable and passive income stream.This led me to the world of apartment buildings.

I'm in a similar situation and wondering if I can buy it my ex using the net worth of the properties (gross minis depreciation and capital gains)

Specifically, I would appreciate recommendations on the following:What courses, certifications, or degrees should I pursue to gain a strong understanding of the real estate market?
