If you inherit a property there is a step up in tax basis and no capital gains tax or depreciation recapture if you sell the property for same market value as valued when inherited  Any gain occurring after inherited date can be avoided by doing a 1031 exchange.

If that's the case (someone was willing to let you lock it up without EM), you likely don't have a great deal as I don't allow anyone to go under contract without hard money.Have you even talked to a few investors to float the idea of what you'd like to do in the event you find something?   

You can also go to local events and start meeting people who are doing what you want to do.

Beyond the Monthly Management, Placement & Maintenance fees, all other fees in our contract are IF EVENT -> THEN fees.
