Purchase price: $290,000 Cash invested: $20,000 Sale price: $420,000 4 Bed 4 Bath Townhouse that I bought at beginning of covid for $290,000.

Is not a new construction, rather making it a liveable place, so I could rent it later on to at least cut my mortgage payment in half and be able to focus on other investments. 

They cash flow well though so it is what it is.

I choose multifam because they have higher cash flow.

Reading through some other forum posts, it looks like there are much simpler partnerships, entities, or offerings that would meet what I am trying to do:My Role:-Decide on properties to purchase, mostly SFHs-Establish LLCs or other business structures to hold the real estate and distribute returns-Purchase properties, using loans as needed depending on the ROI/cash flow desired from investors-Act as property manager for the properties-Depreciate properties held in business entities to minimize taxable income to investors-Distribute returns to investors-Create investments that have high cash flow (CF) and low appreciation (App) , moderate CF and App, low CF and high App-Find investors from connections, friends, and family with no public advertising-Advise in a minimal capacity on tax and real estate strategies-Send investment reports to investors-Be fiduciary to all investors-Receive compensation from PM and other management work I do related to the investmentsInvestors:-Can be non-accredited -Invest as little as $1000-Can use retirement accountsWhat references can people recommend for me to learn about business structures, partnerships, securities, taxes, or other topics to get me started on learning what will work for my goals?

I find data on free sites like Zillow extremely helpful for days on market for certain homes, and it allows you to sort by bedrooms to see how long a potential property may sit on the market at this moment (great for comping rent prices in the area as well)if I were to live in the property, I would take advantage of the FHA low down payment option to keep cash in my pocket for Reno costs  Hope this helps!

The tenant pays me $175 on the side so I'm still cash flowing a few hundred overall.

Should we hold out for a better offer, or take a cash offer now?

Negotiate terms like purchase price, down payment, interest rate, and repayment schedule.3.

We look for cash flow and growing markets.
