Over a 5 year period I would have 5-10 syndication investments that are in various progress stages(i.e. construction/initial value add, re-finance, stabilization, exit) so a passive loss on one K-1 could offset a gain on another K-1 gain/exit.

However, the good news for real estate investors is that the long road to recovery has started.

I have reached out to a few local places to coordinate a location and will keep the group updated as things progress. 

The courts are closed and I live in a judicial state where foreclosures take a long time to complete.Here are some easy predictions for the future for assets that will decline in pricing:  A lot of commercial real estate, NYC apartments - especially Manhattan.  2021 is not going to be an easy year of recovery.  

I'd look in contiguous areas next to these nice ones that are "coming up" or "in the path of progress". 

I'll chat with a lender if I progress towards one of those properties. 

(It's also retroactive if you already have an eviction in progress for non-payment of rent or other charges.)  

You need to figure out what distressed seller and property types you want, design a system around it, teach the VA to follow it and have feedback loops so you can monitor progress. 

With respect to Accountability, you want a community/environment to help you set goals, set an action plan and measure your progress towards hitting those goals.I am a bit biased on these two since I've been with both brokerages... but eXp Realty and Keller Williams are 2 companies I'd check out if I were in your shoes.Best of luck to you moving forward!

Do you see starting as an agent and becoming a broker as a natural progression?
