Your CPA can direct you on how to add your friend as a member and in what form so as to not trigger a gain recognition and satisfy their desire for ownership/cashflow.

Gain knowledge and the money will follow.

The only other way to gain trust is to have a longterm relationship with someone.For the record, I am making all these comments from the perspective of an investor who currently owns a stake in a fund.

I found it to be a great way to gain capital.

Not that I would do that as I would be losing gains on my money in my 401k.  

At $900 a month savings on rent you will be able to gain a return on your cash investment fast since it will be your home and your a first time buyer so you can get in at a super low down payment.

still a new investor here, but am getting close and gaining courage every day with learning what i can on what interests me.  

The limitation of capital gains on a personal residence.

I am currently looking to gain as much knowledge as possible and start my career in REI as a wholesaler.

I hope to meet some of you to help me to gain knowledge and grow connections with some of you !
