Ask yourself if you want to mix $$ and your friendship and then refer to the adage: "Friends and Money: Oil and Water".

@Sarah Dawson - I think if you took a poll from people they would stay it would take 2-5 years to ramp up to the point where you have a well-oiled machine of a business running on all cylinders. 

I can’t count how many deals I’ve gotten where the original buyer asked for something like carpet cleaning or driveway oil stain removal on a house. 

I've invested mostly in multifamily but have also invested in a mobile home park, light industrial, oil an field, and a Yacht Club / Bed & Breakfast deal.  

You’re looking for a well-oiled machine and a team that moves in synchrony and always looking out for your best interest, not their own bottom line.If financing conventionally (25%), I don’t believe new construction MF would be a great fit.

For example, the current drop in oil prices has hit North Dakota hard but has had little impact on Nevada.

Rockefeller in the oil industry .

I used to be a full time CNC machinist originally working in the oil industry and then building custom guitars.

Alaska is in a recession right now, because of the oil prices, the State is running out of money and laying off state workers, I recently read the AK Marine Highway / Ferry System won't have enough money to run after April.  

Interest on an automobile purchase (to the extent of business use of course) is included along with parking fees, tolls, and taxes as a "separate item" distinguished from the "fixed and variable costs" described in §4.02 that are not deductible when using the standard mileage rate.The theory here is that the "standard mileage rate" is the sum of "fixed and variable costs" such as depreciation or lease payments, maintenance and repairs, tires, gas, oil, insurance, license/registration fees, etc., on a per-mile basis.However, this "standard mileage rate" does not (theoretically, of course) include the "separate items" of parking fees, tolls, interest, and taxes, and so these may be deducted in addition to taking the standard mileage rate.Also, I assume your car is relatively old or inexpensive such that the standard mileage method makes sense as opposed to the actual expense method?
