I did do a cash out refi to get my Corte Madera home, which is its saving grace that makes me feel better) but on this rental now with my mortgage, property tax, HOA fees, and insurance my 2023 was negative.

This cuts down on a 25 year old bringing a bunch of 21/22 year olds. 

@Nick Pamintuan I would start with understanding what each of the six partners (including yourself) bring in terms of value to the partnership.

Data after line 10 would be calculations only and no need to input data since they are formula-driven.I am happy to share once complete but also wanted to poll other passive investors out there to see if they have a similar tool they use to look at two different style syndication deals side by side OR if you feel any criteria should be added to the list below.Thanks in advance.

Since you are in Texas, let me mention that I feel this state has enormous potential.

It's good you can bring some perspective to the starting line as you are a broker.I advise beginners all the time how to start and how to set expectations.You said you came into some money, you didn't say how much, so let's say it is 100k, if it is more great, you do not need more than 100k though to get started.I live in South Jersey, property taxes are high and home values are 400k+. 

Which will bring plenty of other investors and general business to the area.
