Under the old system, flood zones primarily determined whether a property owner was required to carry flood insurance and significantly influenced the insurance rates.

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. 

When a passive loss is disallowed it carries to the next year.

And that carries stiff penalties.

It appraised for 320k which is obviously a great spread but you have to remember closing costs, carrying costs, hard money costs and the cost of the refinance.

The tax Benefits are huge, as well as the flexibility you get as everything is privatized.

Off-market.If you do find a tired landlord listed that's willing to carry, just know the agent commission makes your down payment larger. 

You could look into bringing in partners, raising private capital, or even negotiating seller financing for part of it.

That is a capital intensive process that carries significant risk.

There are a few rare cases where you can do 10% down on a long term loan if the seller will carry in 2nd position.
