@William Lindsey If your strategy is to hold after the refi, I'd keep it simple and pay them like a bank with perhaps an origination fee as a bonus. 

As a bonus, I also now have four teens with some skills instead of a house full of toddlers!!

Some Tax advantage and some not but as far as being invested in debt or income producing real estate I'm don't have any exposure and I'd like to fix that.A  piece of me also says this is a single family residential and will have good resale value and liquidity so I'm not pinched if I need to get out.

@Rick Trivedi disclaimer: I'm not a CPA, consult your own :)Some syndications accept TIC investors, others reduce tax exposure with other methods such as cost seg, bonus, and accelerated depreciation.

If they are done on or before THEIR date, they get some bonus.  

Lets call that the :( side.2) And there is the happy side... passive income (syndications, passive partnerships ie medical/dentist offices) and passive losses (depreciation, bonus depreciation via cost segregations common in syndications).

It’s hard to beat an actual pro at the “exposure” game in my humble opinion but if you choose not to go that route I do wish you luck and please DM me the details in case it is a match for one of our clients. :) 

I would be fine working for free and I work hard I just want that first hand exposure to the business.

We'd generally have a bonus-eligible 5 year GDS asset there if the property is used in a rental activity.So, it comes down to whether there's an option to expense or we must capitalize. 

You would want to do this because it brings value, exposure, relationships, and more deals to that investor.
