@Chris SeveneyGenerally, what would be the benefits of having it placed in a living trust over assuming the loan?

I'm looking to do my first project and I'm not quite sure how to craft the offer to benefit the investor. 

Quote from @Nate Marshall: Quote from @JD Martin: Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Jay HinrichsI 100% agree - but I would bet you a nickel that what many sponsors are doing right now has 0 benefit to the funds that are in trouble or right the ship - they are just trying to stay afloat and raise money so they can live their “lifestyle” for the next few years.To the contrary I think many know it’s a lost cause but do not want to admit it / make it public as it will crush their money raising efforts on their new funds.Maybe I am wrong but my gut tells me differently This is exactly what I suspect as well.

Real estate can be a powerful way to achieve both tax benefits and cash flow, and there are many strategies to fit your goals.

Second, I have a question about REPS status in a longer term sense.The primary benefit of REPS status, as I see it, is to take passive real estate losses, usually from depreciation and accelerated depreciation via cost-segregation, and use those losses to offset active income, reducing current or future AGI and tax burden.I’m clear about this benefit, but what I’m unclear on is the consequence in out years.For example, if I put $100K into a multifamily syndication, and the syndication does a cost seg, resulting in a $40K loss, I believe that a Real Estate Professional could claim that $40K loss against their other income and reduce their AGI accordingly.

Benefit from Continued Appreciation: Real estate in Austin and San Antonio has shown robust appreciation over the years.
