Yes, you need to know a bit about running numbers for your specific financial situation but I have worked with many new investors and guiding them to successful rental properties.  

I've achieved my initial goals (financial freedom), so I'm now considering how I'll invest going forward.

Check the language in the LC to see if anything about maintaining the value of the underlying asset (property).

Even if you're cash flowing negatively, you're still investing in an appreciating asset. 

Unfortunately, most people ignore #1 and do not plan for it, and those that do not - I will apologize now when I buy your asset for 50 cents on the dollar. 

General industry norm is if you are a GP on the deal, you can claim the entire asset on your AUM.

If you form a partnership LLC and put that in a land trust (and keep ownership interest of the land trust anonymous, together with its trustee), you've gone a long way to protecting the assets in the LLC.

I was in nationwide general contracting and reconstruction for all asset classes.

You are right that it increases the need for supporting professionals like us, but taking the long term outlook, I would say that a tax professional / accountant focused on the assets you are investing is imperative for success.

These assets were bought in 2021 and 2022 and you did not need to have a crystal ball to understand interest rates would be rising.
