I'm Mark Manship, newly arrived to Niceville, FL from Clovis, NM and after almost a year since first signing up for (and avoiding) BiggerPockets, I'm finally taking a deeper look and more involved approach to real estate investing. 

I agree with you on the tax subject, and hadn't had an opportunity to dig any deeper at the time this post was created.

I started full time in June of this year and have been successful with home sales, commercial and residential listings, I'm currently looking for an investor with some deeper pockets as I have some opportunities that would require an investment of 3 Million for a dirt project that is ready to build houses on.  

No doubt your husband's broker and any lawyer or judge looking at this would provide an even deeper analysis.I'm sure you can understand how this would be in violation of the law, which requires that an agent disclose his status in any real estate transaction.  

You'll find a lot deeper connections here when we can see you!

So it gives you a more apples to apples comparison.And also, the story is much deeper than what the IRR or equity multiple or NPV or PV tells you. 

Throw in that first mortgage payment of $580 and you're looking at $1,247 in outflow and you'd still need to allow for vacancy, maintenance, and management.I'd also want to dig deeper.

Gerber http://amzn.to/1Bs4HEh Many people I talk to don’t understand that the difference between owning a business and owning a job is about building systems and Gerber does a great job of explaining it.One other book I almost hate to recommend but do because it does a really good job with why a team is critical and who should be on it is The Real Book of Real Estate by Kiyosakihttp://amzn.to/13bv4AO It reads almost like he wrote it to make up for some of the others that came out under his name.For a deeper dive Peter Linneman’s textbook Real Estate Finance and Investments: Risks and Opportunities, 3rd Edition http://amzn.to/10Jo5xR is Wharton MBA level knowledge served up by a guy not only started Wharton’s real estate program and ran it for 30 plus years but he’s done plenty of deals himself and now is chief economist at NAI/Global, one of the big international CRE brokerage firms.

I’m also a bit of a market research data geek and Black Rock has always been on my radar but not an area I’ve had a chance to delve deeply into yet.

I do feel like I definitely need to look into the situation deeper and find out actual numbers to see if it is even a deal I want to get involved with.
