In return he will take his 3% if we purchase the property and invest into the total project for his percentage. 

@Scott Kimberly Like what Greg and Sam stated, every syndication is different.Typically the return is structured based on a percentage split and a preferred return. 

My husband and I don't have a percentage we need to make. 

The debt-to-income ratio is the percentage of your gross monthly income that goes to paying your monthly debt payments.

I have found that the cap rates for BYU-contracted housing are a full percentage point (or more) lower than standard housing. 

Will you add on your typical percentage of rent increase on top?

Do you have a specific percentage held in cash, or do you have a multiple of your annual operating/living expenses?

We spend far less than we earn and steadily build up a cash position with a 30, 40, or 50% savings rate as a percentage of our income.

However, I look at the tax history, and the tax percentage is 6.23%!!!

After you’ve received returns up to a certain threshold then the sponsor can begin collecting their returns and is incentivized to get better returns because they will achieve a greater percentage of the returns once they reach certain staggered thresholds.
