Our business is structured as an LLC partnership with my wife and I 50-50 owners. 

•Deal evaluation: Simple, actionable advice or tools to help me confidently analyze and structure deals.I’m also looking to network with wholesale-minded agents, understand local buyers’ preferences (buy boxes), and explore mentorship or partnership opportunities that can help me gain momentum.I’m eager to learn, take action, and build something impactful for my family.

General Contractor - Look for someone experienced in renovating older structures common in Baltimore.

As to structure and conflict of interest, I was initially planning to structure it as an equity fund but was told it might be more attractive to investors as a first lien debt fund and to use it as a bank for the LLCs deals.

Add the financing challenges and that you existing structure likely will become rent controlled.  

If you plan to invest in a syndication as a limited partner (LP), ensure the structure allows for direct ownership in real estate (e.g., through a Tenant-in-Common (TIC) agreement), as partnership interests are specifically excluded from 1031 exchanges under IRC 1031(a)(2)(D).

I’ve sacrificed a lot of time with my family, my overall physical fitness has diminished as I no longer work out 6 days a week, and my social life is pretty much nonexistent.So, trust me, I’ve had multiple times that I’ve asked, “why am I doing this?”

I drive through there to our lakehouse and there are a few of these structures used for homes in the area.

These policies cover the structure and additional liabilities related to your property that the tenant’s insurance doesn’t.Rod, are you sure about this? 

I'm interested to see what you more experienced professionals think of this deal as its structured as well as being in the predicament of having our agent represent the seller ( as himself) and us as the buyers.
