So I would tell you that 2-5 rentals is a piece of cake to manage - even if working full time (we kept 2 corporate jobs until we were up to 20 rental units.)The other thing I would tell you is that there are MAJOR control differences between being a limited partner in a syndication - where you are more akin to a passenger on the bus which is your investment, versus full control of everything when managing your own rentals.  

One things are rolling, it takes relatively little to keep that momentum on flat straightaways.Similarly, pulling the pieces of a business together is a similar effort.

Picture a developer that purchases a piece of land and has sites to build on (or build model homes).

We, thankfully, had a friend of a friend connect us to a delivery person, who directly picked up flooring and delivered to us, then we worked with flooring company to get a credit back on price.Or, we did Ikea cabinets, which came with both more pieces than we ordered, and not all the pieces we ordered.  

Thoughts. Many syndicators may be underwater. So he may not be the only one. But the Wall Street Journal had a favorable feature on him in July. 

Corporate Veil: Courts tend to respect the corporate veil (the legal distinction between the LLC and its owners) more when the LLC is properly formed and operated in the state where the property is located, reducing the risk of personal liability.4.

The IRA is purchasing the property as an investment.Because income to the IRA is tax-sheltered, you must keep it distinctly separate from yourself or close family members. 

It literally took me years to get all of the pieces into place, but now I have a huge amount of freedom and flexibility.

Getting to scoop up the others ones for $150 a piece tomorrow.

Remember you'll never have the every piece of data and a single formula that tells you the answer.
