The Lithonia deal may have a higher cap rate (as it should) where the Peach tree corners may be higher appreciation following rent raises (commercial does not appreciate for any other reason but by cap rate compression PLUS NOI increases).Is the syndication debt only, cash flow only or a mix of appreciation (at the end) and percent of cash flow as it increases..Lots of syndications benefit the syndicators mostly, some are balanced and are win-win for the investor as well. 

However I have benefited as a landlord from my renters carrying a rental insurance policy. 

Is the benefit just to get around the potential rental property issues?

I'm clearly sold on the benefits. 

If that's the case why not use the deferred tax for your benefit to buy more investment real estate?

In other words, I consider myself a nice guy that wants to do good for other and give them the benefit of the doubt, but I cannot think of a single time that it has turned out well for me.

If so, which one (LLC, corp. etc.) and what would the benefits be?

What are the benefits of doing this vs. contacting investors directly and simply being a wholeseller (other than the fact I only know the one investor!)? 

Great job, benefits, etc.I am finally getting my ship righted after the end of my marriage and am looking for a way to catch up as far as my retirement goes. 

If your equity is right and you find a good refi that could give you some of best benefits of both options, you get a cash flowing rental and get a lump sum of cash.
