Hi BP – I’ve been reading up and talking with as many investors as I can in the multi-family space, and the 50-80 unit apartment complex intrigues me.

@Dave Foster Can, in this case, the person 1031 Exchange into a TIC structure that has both a syndication piece and a TIC piece?

The answer is a big fat NO.

I will continue to strive to learn all I can in order to obtain my first REI goal, which is to sell an "assignment" by 2018.

You can in a partnership or other entities set up voting controls by shares etc.Not an expert on syndicating like Brian is.I think before you decide multifamily is the way you need to call and talk to different experts in various fields while you have time.I get contacted all the time and sometimes they buy commercial and other times it's not what they had envisioned it to be.I just like talking to people on the phone because typing it would take days.

I think it definitely can in some markets - for me, it would help in resell but not in increasing rental prices. 

In order for this owner to be in a position to do owner financing on a $1,000,000.00 property it means he is a fat cat with allot of experience who will take 10 to 20 new investors just like you and eat you for breakfast. 

We thought these were old rat dropping dating back since the 70s, until we discovered two fat rats that were still alive and well.

The companies that will offer you the "It Depends" answer on what they charge for management are trying to sneak whatever they can in front of you to get you to agree.  

Writing up your own contracts can, in some cases, be considered acting as an attorney.
