Getting a peak behind the curtain and learning things about a deal in real time is priceless, not to mention (and probably most important) is you'll gain some nice credibility for the future when talking to brokers, investors, etc. 

These are structured differently with us either getting points upfront and a continuing service fee and/or part of the note discount on note purchase.On real property syndication we make money by charging 4-6 points brokerage fee (I hold licenses in 4 states), asset manager fee, and 20% of capital gains after investor preferred return of 8% annually.  

Nonetheless, it closed in February, and because of the one year hold, the gain will be taxed as capital gains.

Texas has a net positive gain of about 22,000 in it's people trade with California.

The Austin market is still going strong and we live in a very desirable area.We *could* roll up some debt and take our mortgage to 284k.This would increase our mortgage payment by 566/month, but by reducing the monthly minimum payments with the debt disappearing we would gain an additional 1000-1100/month (after the 566 is deducted).I'm also aware that mortgage interest is something we can deduct from our annual taxes vs. other debt which we can't...This is not our forever home, but we've had so much equity in our home for so long that I can tell I'm fearful to cut into our equity, but I don't want baseless emotion to make this decision and keep us tied to something that we're not looking to stay in forever.
