It's probably best to have them pay out of pocket for a smaller cost like this.

Bigger pockets calculators or make your own in excel/ google sheets

To you there was little change, you just keep paying your note but now own 123 Main St instead of 345 Side Way, and you have your equity as cash in your pocket from sale 1. 

This would allow us to come to the table with less funds out of pocket on the front end when starting construction.Is the best way to complete the transfer of ownership through a traditional sale registered with the county? 

Luckily my clients were able to get them back on track but they had to dig deep into there pockets to do so. 

The problem with trying to invest $500,000 is you really can't use the same strategies you use with $50,000 and be effective.When I was buying SF houses I could buy them (using hard money) for $25K out of pocket. 

Landlord friendly laws keep you safe(ish) from legal disputes with tenants and there are pockets in both markets that are appreciating at solid or better rates.

Ironically I’ve noticed most people who started in the syndication business on Bigger Pockets whether as GP or LP (General Partners who set it up or Limited Partners who invest passively) have not experienced a true decline in the market so I predict a bloodbath in 2024 I will write a booklet about what to look for if investing in a syndication (or better yet: in a fund) and will post it somewhere on BP because as a tax attorney for high net worth individuals I have seen it all and so many good people lost money as passive investors because the hopeful syndicators were amateurs!
