Hello,Would you assume a loan on an apartment complex that was actually bonds?

There are different tax rates for different forms of income, but income is always taxed provide you had more income than expenses:)@Ned CareyA licensee cannot legally pay a fee to a non-licensee with one minor exception ($50 to a tenant of apts complex that they own that brings another tenant).

Because she used my handwritten paperwork to do the exact same thing with another property in the same complex for a much lower strike price.

Hello BP,I'm an investor from Miami, FL with some buy-and-hold experience locally as well as investing in one syndicated deal (296-Unit Apartment Complex) in Dallas, TX as a limited partner.My goal for 2017 is to buy at least one mid-size apartment complex in an above-average growth market in partnership with a like minded investor with a passion for value-add multi family investing and syndication.I have extensive education and knowledge about apartment complex investing but no first hand experience yet.

I know it is a very complex process, which is why it's so appealing to me.

I do agree that there is not much of a difference between a regular IRA and a self-dieted IRA including the lender "allowance" of more and easier lenders available and the way to cheat the government and for personal benefit ways that you allready have in a typical IRA.  

The deal is my first 'investor group' MF purchase I have put together and gotten to close (came close a few months ago on an 80 unit complex but bailed after inspections).  

Hello BP,If I find a good deal on a large apartment complex, but don't have the money for the downpayment ($500-700k), what kind of product or offer can I structure to talk about with friends and family who might want to invest their money with better returns than saving/stock/ira?

There is huge supply and more coming every day in that space with all the new complexes being constructed.

@Jay Hinrichs   I am in total agreement that buy and resell is what all the regulators want.In Texas, the problem is a little more complex.
