@Shahn SattarI’m not a tax professional, but I don’t think you can pay their heloc and write off the heloc interest on your taxes as an expense.Only way you could write off interest as an expense in this scenario is if you are actually paying your lender interest for the privilege of using their money (on top of the interest the heloc charges).

So there would be no more or less risk than choosing a syndication, and you do the due diligence in the same way.The big thing with DST’s is that on the plus side they generally do not charge a promote/carry because they are prohibited by SEC rules.

The problem is the RE investing sector is full of people who want to charge a fee for less than great advice.I have been investing for 35+ years; Hawaii to London England.I went a long way before I ever paid a mentor or coach.

The tenant has already paid it, you can't charge them twice.

@Dmitriy FomichenkoDo I have to charge him a particular interest, or can I say 0.001% or something like that?

Typically, fees for rental units outside of rent would include late charges, returned check fees and attorney's fees.

You can charge fees for managing your group's investment.

It's an awesone finance community that can answer what you're looking for, free if charge.

Perhaps they charge people for storage or laundry and are counting that income in the rent roll, which shouldn't be the case.  

Attorneys are not much help, they just charge for every "consultation".
