These are questions I would ask and as you noted, if it seems to good to be true.....I have not dove into this in detail, this is just what the "sniff test" questions I would ask - could be a great investment for people - I am just telling you what I would ask. question would be who is the lender with a proven track record as you note Chris that would be important to know is the fixed debt investments ( loans secured by RE) bringing in say 8 to 9% and the equity in the MF is making up the difference with rental returns.. so say rental returns are 6% and the Notes are at 7% that equals teh 13%  ??? 

Any questions you have throughout the process.

This is a very personal question that is difficult to answer. 

But this is definitely a CPA question because the IRS rules are based on your AGI and phase out if your AGI is over $100k.

This is a question that has come up a million times and will continue coming up forever in Chicago unless eventually things change one way or another.

I have some YouTube videos that may help with some of your questions and always happy to have a call to dive a little deeper. 1. which development(s) tends to be the best for ROI/have the best occupancy rates? 

We've sent out a cohost request and most hosts are asking ~22%, which is higher than what ABB suggests - but seems to be in line with what traditional local prop management places charge.My question: Long term obviously it makes sense to learn to do this all myself and be self sufficient.   

Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have or if you would like to see some past work.

Quote from @Roger D Jones: Emory,Great question but a lot to unpack. 

Blanco,I have 30 plus years of experience in my previous career and would gladly answer any question you would ask me without the need for such condescending sarcasm.
