Once a person lets earnest money  go hard, they become emotionally attached.If you find yourself in a situation, where there was something majorly different than what you realized, then it is my firm opinion that it is best to let the seller have your earnest money and take stage left.Remember, no deal is better than a bad deal.No, I have not always been the master of that particular principal.

I haven't used Investor Carrot personally and know many people are happy with it.

This just depends on you personally.

Better pricing if they also insured your personal home.

But back to my first point, if you can use the "tax benefits" at all, if so how much, and how they effect taxes owed at the back end of the deal are all unique to each person's situation.As for refinances, some syndicators model refi's and other's don't.  

My personal approach to this, I don't seek for a positive cash flow if I have bare minimum equity in the property.

I've done this with my properties because I'm well known in my small town and don't want people to know what I own.LEGAL PROTECTION: By placing your assets in an LLC, you are legally separating them from your personal assets.

While I am fine renting while I search for the right investment, my dream would be to build (for my own personal home).

Hey @Amir J Reichental, There are small pros and cons to this: Home Address:Pros:Privacy: Providing your home address keeps your personal information private, as it's not tied directly to your business.Convenience: If you're already receiving mail and other communications at your home address, it may be more convenient to keep everything in one place.Cons:Risk: Using your home address exposes it to potential risks associated with the property owned by the LLC, such as lawsuits or creditors targeting your personal assets.Tax Implications: Depending on your jurisdiction, using your home address could have tax implications, especially if you're claiming any tax benefits or deductions related to the property.LLC Address:Pros:Asset Protection: Using your LLC address helps separate your personal assets from your business assets, providing an extra layer of liability protection.Business Image: Using the LLC address for business-related documents can help establish credibility and professionalism for your company.Cons:Public Record: LLC addresses are often part of public records, which means they may be more accessible to anyone who wants to find information about your business.Mail Handling: If you don't have a physical presence at the LLC address, you'll need to ensure mail forwarding or a reliable method of receiving important documents.Ultimately, the decision depends on your specific circumstances and priorities.
