When I moved up to Big Sky a few months ago I was struck by the raw natural beauty of this place and I want a piece of Big Sky to call mine forever.

One perspective I would add is that you're entrusting your hard-earned money to someone; investing in a syndication is as much, if not more, about the team than the asset (the best team will naturally have the best assets).

I’d advise not following them but if nature forces your hand just becoming them.

Higher interest rates mean higher housings costs for home buyers, naturally.

@Tanner Foy Hi Tanner - I would just start and as you go from project to project your team will be built naturally around you.

I'm thinking about a buy-and-hold strategy with some forced appreciation.I took most of the numbers from Zillow and made them slightly more conservative.Would appreciate your thoughts on assumptions used for this model.I am interested in a deal that gives me solid cash flow (not expecting a blockbuster natural appreciation in the market).

Since you have the funds a deal will come naturally.

. - anything to make REI second-nature for you. 

My tax advisor is saying that because I rent my two properties below fair market value that the IRS doesn’t count my rental income because I’m not making profit or something to that nature.

That combined with some appreciation will hopefully accelerate your path to doing a refinance to conventional more naturally.
