Most CFO clients that I work with that are new construction/home builders usually target a 20%-25% gross margin as they usually have to deliver high teen returns to their investors.Great question. 

Low vacancy rates, rising rents, and high tenant demand for more space/good school districts. 

Also, which choice is better for you highly depends on what your real estate goals are and the experience level & skillset of the specific agent.Traditional agent and Redfin Agent could essentially be the same thing in many cases.

@Nicholas A. your shotgun approach has a high probability of getting the exact quality you put into it.95%+ of real estate agent, many of them posting they are "investor-friendly", only know how to deal with owner-occupied transactions. 

In a climate like this with high rates, probably better to use a Heloc so you keep the lower rate of your 1st lien.

I've stuck with the tried and true reasons I've heard to keep my search ranking high (quality photos, stellar reviews, updates to my listing) and that helps but in slow season, when I'm not willing to cut my rates as much as some of my competitors, it can be a ghost town.  

The guarantee of getting paid and a high hourly rate would be what would entice them to use the hourly rate structure over a commission structure.  

You want lower land cost with high rental demand unless you're a reno expert and flipper which not 1% of real investors are. 

The reality is about a year ago landlords could sell their properties at a high price without actual NOI.

Quote from @Rud Sev: Hello,I am new to the world of syndication (LP investor) and want to understand how taxes at a high level for syndication as LP before asking individual specific questions to my CPA.Notably, I want to understand how preferred returns/cash flows are taxed, if at all, until the amount invested has been returned.
