I've been on an incredible journey over the past year, diving deep into real estate investing to build financial freedom.

But I eventually took a deep breath this past weekend and passed on the opportunity, lol.That's the reason for the question.

That was when all the red flags started coming.

@Ian Ippolito  you may want to get on Ian's mailing list  he is wicked smart and does very deep dive's into crowd funding and other syndicated investments then writes reviews on them..  

We're looking at the Red River Gorge area.

They certainly display an impressive track record and have a deep bench when it comes to industry experience.

I'm trying to plan this out as well as possible to avoid any issues down the road.I've seen the stories where people run into issues meeting this requirement and get scrutiny from the IRS, to me it seems the two biggest red flags might be when they hire a property manager and also when they rarely go out to the property to work on it themselves, always relying on contractors.

Getting deep into the grey area of the weeds but that sounds about right doesnt it? 

. $50,000 times 15 acres equals $750,000.You give that $750k development right to an agency, and It is treated as if you gave $750k to the Red Cross.It's a huge deduction.Depending on your tax bracket, that tax deduction could be worth several hundred thousand dollars to you.It's a pretty big deal.

Rose needs to be red.
