Hello, I took my NYS licensing exam on July 30th 2021 at the Hauppauge location. They said it would take at least 6 weeks but that has long passed and I’m still seeing “waiting for score”. Did anyone else test at that...

The result of the cap rate calculation is important because it provides investors with a lot of information about the value of the property, the risk in acquiring it, and its potential return.

So for syndications the accelerated depreciation would be offsetting qualified dividends rather than ordinary.But since the distributions form a small fraction of the total gains from the syndication (most of the gains are ltcg), chances are high that accelerated depreciation from the next deal will offset a big chunk of ltcg from the exited deal, irrespective of whether the distributions during the hold period were treated as ordinary or qualified dividends.I agree that most people don’t look at depreciation as a loan/subsidy by the govt, maybe because their ego doesn’t allow them to admit that their investment would not produce competitive yields without subsidies or maybe because they don’t understand the entire value chain. 

Does it produce cash flow?  

My wife and I have been doing this for 8 years and have never paid more than $800/month for our mortgage as a result. 

Adjust over time as you see statistical results (that you should be tracking).Have you hooked up with any cash buyers yet?

This implies you need to find good investment properties that produce better initial cash flow than the average purchase. 

I've been reminding him for years, with no results, and had pretty much given up, but still try every once in a while.  

Failure to do so may result in a loss of coverage.

Thank you for your response @Sam Smith , so I’m still trying to learn what makes a deal a good deal, I don’t want to blindly invest money into something that will produce a negative cash flow.
