He ended up pairing his syndication investment with a small rental property purchase that allowed him to maximize his REP hours, which made a big diference at tax time.It’s a bit complex, so I’d recommend chatting with your CPA to see if you can group your real estate activities or find an alternative way to leverage those passive losses.

Alternatively, you can convert your IRA into a "Self-Directed " IRA and buy investment real estate inside your SD IRA.

If you do get a second set, make them yours, and assign the tenants each alternating days to the other. 

Alternatively, consider a cash-out refinance or HELOC to access equity for future investments while keeping the property.

I could also see this as an alternative to installment agreements if they were ever dissallowed by congress. 

Alternative OptionsIf a straight price cut doesn’t feel right, consider creative financing.

An alternative could also be to have them pay a higher deposit.

Alternatively, you can own the rental directly, take the income directly and simplify your life, taxes and everything.

The only thing is if the MFR is purchased with this, but not for the business then you may not be able to consider it in this loan so you may still need an alternate option there.

Nothing different than Brandon Turner's "No money down" book I guess...Concepts definitely aren't new and 95% of deals still require some cash, but just like Brandon Turner's book it simply lays out some alternative options to your standard "go get a loan from the bank" buying/selling real estate methods.
