In fact, I recently wrote a book about this that explains the laws in California, some of which are nationwide laws.

I'd recommend working with a tax professional to accomplish this. 

Very helpful. 

Hope it helps! 

Here is an email I received this AM.

Haven't heard about Houston or San Antonio, but just like many cities nationwide they all feel the need for more affordable housing and have hopes urban infill can help that. 

I am fairly new to MTR and was curious what vacancy and lead times tend to look like around this time of year?

Thank you a bunch for your help ☺️

Don't feel pressured to deploy it all in a year, and don't over-deploy into any single offering or sponsor.Maybe while you wait, spend some time getting intimately familiar with how syndication investments work by reading this: www.biggerpockets.com/syndicationbook

At that point, I'd rather use hard money to fund the downpayment and go the conventional route - at this point at least.
