This will help with the RMD, Required Minimum Distribution, that will hit when the SDIRA owner is 67, I think. 

Contributions into and distributions out of a corporate entity usually do not trigger a tax event. 

Never buy a multi family with the thought that the value will increase as the value of a multi-family should be derived by the income it generates.  

@Andrew Syrios  Yes i meant 9-10% annually but distributed monthly

Crawl spaces make it MUCH easier to distribute rough mechanicals (plumbing and HVAC, mostly).

But I will say that the distributions are not fantastic.

They are responsible for finding the deals, doing the due diligence, setting up the financing, raising the capital, creating and executing the business plan, dealing with the operational challenges that can come up 24 hours a day, managing the cash flow, and ultimately distributing the profits to all of the partners throughout the hold period.Good General Partners have been involved in the business for years, and they have perfected their business procedures to make sure the business plan is executed as effectively as possible.

We look at things a bit different 1) Just like the mortgage payment has to be paid timely monthly so does the investors' distribution be paid timely monthly. 2) If someone has to take a haircut for some reason we as the Manager/Syndicator take the haircut. 3) This is a long term relationship the investors need to be taken care off first and via our performance, you will come back again. 4) We believe a market correction/change is coming and that is why we have focused on an asset class that performs well during a market correction or even better.

In fairness, my distrust of "coaches" is not derived from any conversation I have had with any, but solely on the premise of their business model.

Cash flow distributions are made either monthly or quarterly in most cases.
