Also on my days off I own and operate a property management/property preservation company.

Everyone is enjoying prices at the pumps at 20 year lows (adjusted for inflation), everyone except for small and medium oil & gas producers that can't afford to continue operating with their existing debt and the price of oil at $30 a barrel.

I partnered with a Brazilian coworking operator and partnering with other people to provide the community (very very important) Feel free to contact me directly to discuss.

They operate where there is cash flow.

A couple of times the meetings were mostly sales pitches, but other times they interview local turn key operators, etc.  

Those things are part of the farm operation and our largest amount of income is from farm products (Christmas trees).  

I don't understand, if you have capital to put 20% down on $3 million worth of assets, why are you wanting to operate in the small multi-family arena, where value is a function of demand, rather than larger multi-families, where value is a function of income?

Once you learn the operations, you just use a calculator.

What about operating within your LLC, I assume every property purchased is considered as investment?  

Operating without GLI exposes you greatly and the IRS frowns upon those who attempt to skirt the issue of employees by wrongfully claiming independent worker status.
