I imagine that if ALL the LP"s protested with Form 8082, the IRS might have taken note.I need to write some posts about the Tricks and Traps that some syndicators [not you, of course] use to the detriment of the LP's.But the Form 8082 is your best friend.

You’ll likely find a strategy that aligns with your goals and lifestyle.Since you’ve been enjoying the BiggerPockets Money podcast, I’d also recommend checking out the Real Estate Rookie podcast—it’s great for diving into beginner-friendly strategies and learning from others who’ve been in your shoes.Feel free to reach out if you want to chat more or bounce around ideas.

In addition, a DIL does not automatically satisfy the underlying mortgage/DOT so if you accept a deed from the DIL grantee you may find a title insurer will require a release or sat of it before insuring.We have often used a “friendly” foreclosure instead of deed in lieu when we needed to “wipe out” liens junior to ours before taking property title.   

Research landlord-friendly states with lower property prices and strong rental demand, like Texas or the Midwest.

Prioritize quality locations.Keep healthy amount of reserves per property, hire a PM, and hire a tax friendly CPA(not planning just prep). 

You rarely will get both (at least not right now in this current market).If you want to explore different opportunities within various areas of the Valley, get a seasoned investor-friendly Realtor who is competent.

Mozeo is a fairly user-friendly software, and very affordable.
