My calculations still show a $100,000 property with a rent of $1000 as a loser even after the tax benefit.

In short, our investors gain all the benefits of owning a rental property, without the management hassles of landlording.

I say invest the funds into other income producing investments with as little cash in as possible (and still see a monthly income of course) and use those tax benefits as much as possible now.

That is not say that RE Agents/Attorneys and many other professionals have hired us themselves for their own personal benefit.

I forget what he said the benefits to doing that wereSo that's kind of where I'm thinking right now.

John - do members of TICs get tax benefits, or are they silent partners?

Of course, everything is negotiable, but in general terms, the Seller pays for what directly benefits him, and the Buyer does likewise.

He twisted a disadvantage and made it a benefit.

You likely benefit more than I will given it is your site and I am contributing for free.

I would like to be able to go to my mother and aunt and propose a way for us all to benefit.
