I'm not an attorney, but having them under a holding company LLC seems like a risk of having a judge rule that they are all part of the same company de facto, and liable for losses from others.

Companies with a high debt ratio or poor d/e ratio--which are a lot of companies-- won't sustain living in a high rate environment. 

Hi @Johnite Ryen Aguirre De JesusSorry to hear about your loss.Are you eventually planning on moving into the home?

While the overall returns (all else being equal) to the LP are lower when the sponsor gets higher fees and carried interest, you are paying for a certain level of de-risking your investment.  

Thank you @Lindsay Op de Coul and @Andrew Steffens for the advice, very much appreciated!

De-leveraging your loan4.)

@Jalen De LeonFirst question to ask a potential CPA...do you personally invest in REI.
