The key word is "general", because quality tax planning is case-by-case and, as you discovered, is expensive.

I discovered BP and real estate investing in early 2020 and it has become my new mental obsession.

Looking for a mentor in OKC area to learn about the business, discover how I can add value to the community of investors, and understand what my next steps are as an amateur investor.Currently finishing up my first rental home.

While I know I may have not given you the secret sauce or the answers I do not have . . . .

They will be able to discover any liens.

This is my first post on BP, I'm very excited to have discovered the podcasts and this forum recently.

Optimistic projections always look good in a presentation but similar to the worst-case scenario question, discover if the sponsor included verbiage in the operating agreement or PPM(private placement memorandum) regarding if the projected cash flows are not met?

That's the secret to at least 90% of success in getting things done over the phone.Last week my phone rang and a guy was on the other end who was obviously working his way through a local tax list of absentee owners of local properties.

On top of that, if you believe that inflation is coming down the road because of all of the cash that was printed last year, I think real estate appreciation in the Bay Area is not going to go away in the near future.The secret sauce is trying to figure out how to make the numbers work so you can take advantage of the appreciation.Good luck to you!
