We have a few preliminary meetings with some investment groups that that like to participate as  LP's.

How is it your agent's fault that you didn't participate as fully as you wanted to in hindsight? 

Materially participate in crafting your goal(s), your plan (working backwards from your specified goal(s).  

I participated in an investment in a motel property under the Brand "Extend-a-Suites" in El Paso, TX. 

@Mitch ConradThe other option is for them to do a participation agreement between each other.

I would be interested in participating in your Long Beach monthly meeting.

I am hesitant to participate in this program because it is a hefty start up cost and there is very little feedback or reviews on this program. 

Similar green energy investments could be considered if you can make the numbers work (credits on some types of low income housing can be north of 50%).Depending on how long these properties have been held, they could consider implementing cost segregation studies via a change in accounting method to accelerate some depreciation.The operating proceeds could be re-deployed into new properties where cost segregation is an option to accelerate depreciation to offset proceeds.If the properties are low basis and we are not maximizing the 199A deduction, maybe considering an S-Corp structure for management to be able to participate in retirement plans and also generate wages to use as a 199A base. 

I was distracted and talking to someone about fix and flips and letting them know that the sale is taxed as ordinary income instead of capital gains and completely messed up what I was trying to point out.I was trying to say that STRs may help to offset some ordinary income with losses if you actively participate, whereas LTR losses only offset passive income unless you are classified as a real estate professional.

We deal with it all the time when High W2/1099 Earners participate in our Commercial “Sale Leaseback - Energized Real Estate” deals.I wrote a short book on that exact topic
