I'm invested with individuals who have each put much more cash into the deal than I have, and their only compensations is a fixed percent of total profit. 

Individuals are purchasing these properties, rehabbing them, and raising rents.

I focus heavily on the sell side and on the buy side only work with high net worth individuals so the newbie wanting a 400k multifamily with an FHA loan probably isn't for me. 

You would have to go after the one individual for non-payment and you could only remove the other three by going through the legal process like you would for someone on a verbal agreement, which puts you in a he-said, she-said situation. 

In a 1031 exchange, does the replacement property need to be more valuable than the total sale price of the deal I sold (including other investors), or just my individual portion of the investment?

It targets individuals who understand the risks and rewards of income-based investments, rather than traditional property ownership.4.

I would like to connect with like minded individuals.

We can also lend to both individuals and LLCs.I'd be happy to share my experience as both an investor and as a lender.

I presently have a negative cash flow  in all 3 properties but am more interested in paying off the mortgages early to reap rewards later.Any thoughts? 

Does anyone know if this individual needs to be a W2 or can I hire on a 1099?
