I would love to hear your thoughts on the pros/ cons/ risks involved You're incorrect above but close:Your example of a 1 million dollar purchase price would go like this:80%- Non-recourse loan or $800,000 20%- Transactional Lending or $200,000First leg:  All funds are sent to escrow (from both the non-recourse and transactional lenders respectively) Thus $1 million is received in escrow and closed. 

I am currently in negotiations for buyout, it appears non protected are holding firm at 40k total and the protected tenants want 85k total.

You are about 3-5 years early for this question.Unless you already have some other serious reasons to start with asset protection, maybe you are filthy rich, or have partners, in which case free advice from a public forum might not be the best for you (and asking about Zen business for LLC creation tells me it’s not the case).Another 2¢ bonus for you: - LLC as asset-holding entities are pass-through disregarded entities, with little to none tax benefits.

Hi, does anyone know of a commercial lender for a 24 unit in Colorado I can refer a client to?

My realtor linked me up with a lender and we applied for the VA loan for a 0 money down loan and we got into it for 3.875 APR, 30 year fixed for a total of $242, 548.

In this market, if you need cash flow, have you ever considered lending your money out as a private money lender or hard money lender? 

Most of the facebook groups are spammers or people with no clue on real estate and they drown out a lot of the good discussions - if you are in a FB group and its public, most are waste of time unless it is strictly monitored.
