Just to clarify on@Jeff Devillestatement for crowd funding in equity investments the depreciation and potentially interest expenses are passed through to the investor so you do get the tax deferred benefit presumably for a shorter investment horizon then say buy and hold investing.  

@Natalia Soares presumably you are talking about 90%LTV or 100%LTV Heloc’s on a primary not a rental?

3) What would you do with the realized profit -- if the answer to #1 is "yes", presumably you would reinvest the profit into another property. 

Thank you all for the input.To be honest, I was a little unsure of how to respond to said listing agent’s reaction and that is why I pointed out that, yes, I do appreciate the concern if in fact that was the case, however, that being said, none of us would appreciate being ruled out of an offer simply based on our gender.It is really wrong to make an assumption that someone is not qualified to buy from you, just based on gender alone.It is for this reason that the Fair Housing Act came into place and what saddens me is that the only way he agreed to a showing was after my buyer’s agent pointed out my military background.I served in the United States Army and it is sad that, my agent needed to bring this up to try to win me a showing.My agent tried to convince this listing agent that if I can handle being in the military and seeing what I saw, living in the “supposed” bad neighborhood was the least of my worries, and it is.I know what I can handle and it just saddens me when people presume just based on my gender that I need something “softer, more secure” or else, I will fail.In the military, my MOS was 62 Bravo, heavy equipment mechanic.I am by no means fragile and incapable of taking care of myself and it is truly sad when a listing agent feels the need to bring up my gender as a pre-qualification for showing a property!

Their lending tightness seems to ebb and flow, presumably with their lending needs, reserves, etc... 

Tell them what your goals are, ask them what THEY want out of you (as presumably you'll be a vital part of their deal flow eventually).  

If your partner is managing it, then presumable he wouldn't charge a fee to place a new tenant. 

When populations decline, housing doesn't do well (see Japan's housing crisis https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/japan-is-giving-away-homes-in-bid-to-tackle-countrys-unique-housing-crisis-a4010601.html)Again, I'm presuming that the experts are right and that 1) everyone gets this in 1-2 years, 2) the mortality rates stay consistent 3) the government isn't able to mitigate the effects completely.

One of the sons reached out to me and wants me to call him, presumably because he wants money also.  

Presuming all are LLCs, some might be single member some might be multi-member. thanks,Ned
