We have an arrangement with a local taxi service which allows our tenants to call a cab when leaving from "a night out", show them their "Take me home" card and receive transportation back to their house/apartment ... even if they have spent all their money earlier in the evening.  

If so, was it worth it and what were the terms of the influencer arrangement?

Before getting into any kind of arrangement with other investors please make sure that you have a Joint Venture agreement that outlines who is putting in what kind of work and money BEFORE going under contract. 3.

We had planned on moving to the suburbs when we had kids, but it turns out we're not feeling cramped yet in our condo, and DC has public preschool.

I highly recommend them.and if you like if you come up I can arrange a meeting with Jeff the owner.

Arrange monthly payments. 

Keeping a group going takes significant time, and you'll need at least one person (preferably more to share the workload) to take responsibility for keeping the group on time and arranging logistics.Let me know if I can help with suggestions.

You might suggest a similar arrangement with some of the agents that you meet with and set up a couple geographic farms.

Although you could do what is called a Tenant-In-Common (TIC) arrangement where an investor has 1031 exchange funds and wants to parlay that money into a syndication.

I'm honestly baffled why there is even a debate about this.Better to pay cash or draw against a pre-arranged line of credit for short term deals, rehabs, and flips that require speed.I browsed through this thread and didn't really see any mention of what income tax does to your income on long term holdings that are debt free.On stable, boring single family residential, 60-70% medium to long term debt is definitely in order.
