Perhaps for your first rehab ride, you find the deal, you earn a fee by letting someone else fund it, and simply be an "intern" on the first deal.

In general, the major brokerages are somewhat greedy and they would prefer to keep both sides of the commission "in house", so before any new listing is posted to a site like LoopNet, Costar or Crexi, it is passed internally to every other broker in the office and then within the intranet for that company, to see if anyone has a party to do the deal with.

Also, the state of formation is likely where internal disputes would be brought among LLC members, so if you and a partner and/or spouse live in CA, you probably want to arbitrate in CA if the two of you had a disagreement.

The primary goal of cost segregation is to identify components that are not real property and therefore can be depreciated faster (typically over five, seven, and 15 years).

With older buildings, we need to be careful with the components of the building, such as roof, driveways, mechanicals.If you have to change the roof in the next 5 years, there goes any cash flow.

Does anyone have any actual data on the return on this component (previous appraisals, paired sales analysis, comparison on new construction with/without rooftop decks)? 

I think, in general, unless you're an extremely high W2 earner just looking to get into real estate for tax purposes, buying for cash flow gives you the durability to weather market fluctuations as you're never in a position where your back is against the wall and you need to sell... unless you have debt coming due.Now, that being said, if the true cash flow, after allocating for all expenses, vacancy, maintenance, capex, etc. is in the black, then I think taking a 5% CoC return in an appreciating market isn't a bad move, especially if there is a component of value-add. 

This deal, valued at over €200 million, positions TPG to take advantage of Ireland’s robust housing demand, especially in the greater Dublin area where Quintain’s land bank could produce up to 7,700 new units.France: Quick Office Lease-Up at Paris Mixed-Use ComplexIn France, the office component of the Emblem complex near Paris is quickly filling up.

This is an internal accounting requirement  You can cut a check to any member as a drawing or return of capital, to them individually, that's not an issue.
