I am considering participating in a private investment opportunity for a large multi family unit complex with a 5 year hold.

Although I find opportunities that meet my minimum ROI and maximum risk much harder to find, I still participate when the opportunities arise.

And you unlock tax write offs, participate in appreciation and your monthly payment decreases your principal, which is like a forced savings account.Final option: move to Milwaukee. $500,000 is twice our median price and will get you a 4br 2.5bath 2400 sqft new construction home. 

No, no reward for participation.

But the participating bank, is on a 10 year fixed, then switch to a normal 5 year refi, on a 20 year amort. 

I honestly feel like you can learn more by participating in the forum conversations, listening to BP podcasts, and attending local Meetups, than any of the Entry level seminars.

Not only has the selling side of the market slowed down, but renters are also over massive rate increases and unless forced are no longer willing to participate in this bubble.Side note: Are they listed for rent on Zillow? 

I guess the first question would be do you know if you will even be able qualify under the detailed material participation rules? 

Can't he shelter his income even without REPs status as long as he shows enough participation hours?  

Not all people who create losses can use them too so that brings up the topic of material participation in a loss.
