Quote from @David Brooks: I've received advise that our friendly STR loophole can not be used to characterize STR income/loss as non-passive on a California tax return.

On the more "inexperienced" side, I have a friend that partnered with a syndicator, and that syndicator outlined the following, typical, structure:Deal Sourcing: 20%Underwriting: 20%Asset Management: 20%Capital Raise: 40%Others will partner where splits of various fees/carried interest vary based on each partners roll: i.e. if one person sources the deal, underwrites and asset manages, they get say 70% of AMF, Dispo Fee and Carried interest and 40% of acquisition fee, while the capital raiser keeps 30% of those fees and gets 60% of the acquisition fee. 

It can be spouse friendly as well.😉.  

One interesting tip I heard from a friend is they use a phone number with local area code.

A landlord friendly state won't save you from a bad deal.Not trying to be discouraging, just realistic. 

Besides having a personal friend to mentor you, this is the next best place to learn.
