Purchase price: $564,375 Cash invested: $123,887This home is a duplex with an extra suite in the building so 3 units in total and has a monthly cashflow of $1,250/mo (this does not include vacancy, repairs and maintenance which are all very minimal on this property).

It's the best way to slowly gain capital with minimal risk.  

Essentially, treated lumber should last 15-20 years with minimal maintenance as long as you stain it every few years and generally maintain it.

The warranty does expire on 10/2020, so I do plan on getting a technician out for a diagnostic. 2 weeks ago, my PM only sent out a technician to refill R410a, he did not even attempt to locate the leak saying it should be minimal considering only 2lbs.

Since I do not have much experience, preferably looking for a unit, $70K max, that needs minimal work.Thanks in advance!

One of the beauties of syndications is that the passive investor can get involved for a minimal amount of money (when compared to purchasing the property itself) and reap the benefits without needing to worry about management, financing etc.

That would give mom some quick cash with minimal work if ARV is about 550k to650k.If you are doing this to help mom, help mom, not yourself.

Please let me know your thoughts and any advice on how you have minimized the impact of franchise and excise tax on your properties? 

We don't have deep pockets so that is why we would need a minimal down payment.
