Hey @Atlas Blake, so the catamaran idea seems kinda separate deal to owning a STR.Is the plan to maybe buy or build up a small resort type place and do the catamaran thing as part of the stay?

Reading through some other forum posts, it looks like there are much simpler partnerships, entities, or offerings that would meet what I am trying to do:My Role:-Decide on properties to purchase, mostly SFHs-Establish LLCs or other business structures to hold the real estate and distribute returns-Purchase properties, using loans as needed depending on the ROI/cash flow desired from investors-Act as property manager for the properties-Depreciate properties held in business entities to minimize taxable income to investors-Distribute returns to investors-Create investments that have high cash flow (CF) and low appreciation (App) , moderate CF and App, low CF and high App-Find investors from connections, friends, and family with no public advertising-Advise in a minimal capacity on tax and real estate strategies-Send investment reports to investors-Be fiduciary to all investors-Receive compensation from PM and other management work I do related to the investmentsInvestors:-Can be non-accredited -Invest as little as $1000-Can use retirement accountsWhat references can people recommend for me to learn about business structures, partnerships, securities, taxes, or other topics to get me started on learning what will work for my goals?

Communication, photos, and documentation is everything in this business. 

If your spouse doesn’t have a W-2 income and works on the investment properties, it could be a good idea to consider REPS status.

Hi all,   Trying to brainstorm if this is a good or terrible idea.

I was tossing around a few ideas for a new construction build I will start the end of the year.

The idea was that it makes your property more valuable.

Also, as our business grows, we know that IGMS can handle it.

Any idea what kind of interest rates/terms I might be able to get?
