@James Teutschmann I think everyone could use a bit of organization and of you will join a mastermind group with others in a similar place as you.

Better to keep the two functions separate and arms length. 

Another option you could look into which functions similarly to the LLC to protect your assets is the Delaware Statutory Trust.

I expect basic adult function and have never received a call for a light, clog, or other rediculious item.

Why wasn't there a walk through that checked if everything was functioning properly?

None of those have anything that you can’t overcome when a property is dug out organically and purchased as a good deal.

@Michael EalyInterest rates are not fueling it, but are a function of i a low yielding enviorment.If the risk free rate is low, then with it any yielding product will then in turn follow that same pattern as risk premiums adjust to any enviorment.

It does not matter if you are a silent, capital partner -- it's the way the law on SE taxes was written for a general partnership.It may be advantageous to form an LLC and write yourself into the operating agreement as the functional equivalent of a limited partner. 

They all essentially do the same functions and charge for the same 'side features' like background screenings, rental estimates, legal documents. 

Also, If you're looking for a meet up, we organize a real estate investor meet up the last Wednesday of every month at "The Manhattan Project" restaurant on Frankfort Ave.
