@Jamie Hall  Ask the following questions to all potential brokers (in addition to commission splits, fees, etc.)  1)  Who will be my mentor, what is his/her experience in total # of MF transactions broken into buyers/sellers, how available is he/she, and what expectations (if any) will he/she have in return for advice (beyond commission split)?

Specifically, if you’re looking at seller financing, assuming buy and hold investing, comparing the 2 offers below 1.Seller Finance: $250K, 5% down, 30yr @ 2.5% = $11,261 yearly debt service2.Seller Finance: $184K, 5% down, 30yr @ 5% = $11,260 yearly debt service Over the life of the loan, the total cost is the same, the only difference would be the ratio of interest to principal in the total payment.

We are looking to purchase the property with an existing LLC (or transfer it to the LLC after purchase) with the investors (and the LLC) combing funds to total the 30% down payment.

That would shelter your tax totally. 

My thought is to give the CM a set % off total profit and then primary and secondary investors get % of remaining profit based on total invested.

I'm betting once folks from California figure out that investing in Arizona is easier and safer than in California we'll see an up swing from there. 

I totally agree.
