Thus, the investment grows like it's sitting in a roth 401k/IRA       Then when you die, your heir gets a step-up in basis, thus eliminating all the prior capital gains over decades, but only up to 13.6 mil this year :(              Debt Funds (like mortgage note investing) can also be very lucrative but I don't know/understand the tax savings/issues in that class yet, still learning :)              Equity REIT investing can give you great siloed real estate exposure in 11 major asset class sub-types, but don't offer the direct tax benefits as direct RE ownership does above, as the REIT gets those benefits when it transacts and as a corporation passes those benefits secondarily/indirectly onwards to us investors as high dividends and gradual stock price appreciation.

I have a question regarding max allowable offer.

Could be a win/win situation if you purchased and offered additional funds to move them out.

The lawyers had to move with caution because he was becoming mentally incompetent and they didn't want to have him signing documents (malpractice).

Does it go to auction or can you just make an offer.

What I see is plenty offered in the 6-8 cap arena, and a lot of high vacancy properties with negative cash flow.Wondering what other investors are seeing? 

I want to put an offer on a house that is on a main road.

I am meeting with a RE lawyer next week to get the paperwork going.

I need money fast and this will expose me to the process of finding, analyzing, offering deals, etc...I'm currently following info from Jerry Norton, ConnectedInvestor, Jamil Danji and few yahoos on tiktok. 

I've been calling around to real estate lawyers but can't get a call back - requesting recommendations on a lawyer that is willing to work with a small landlord.
