What are my risks of buying a property which was sold at a foreclosure auction to one party (who may have made immediate improvements) and then the property was taken by a party which had purchased/exercised  redemption rights. 

Hello everyone that reads this,I'm reaching out to anyone that may have already done the math/thought exercise.

He claims if you can't take the 10 minutes to do this exercise, how can you possibly commit yourself to the hard work needed to succeed?

Or you can put your own in as well (if you want pm me and I'll give you a sample our clients sometimes use).  

What you should understand is how those items that are "passed through" from the K-1 impact you from a tax perspective.You  can ask the syndicator for a sample K-1 (we provide to our investors).   

A few years later, I had the experience and portfolio of writing samples to work as an employee of a small temporary help agency.

Raising capital is already a time-consuming, challenging, and risky enough exercise.

Not an exact science over the short term with a small sample size.

I think your sample size is way too small to make the umbrella conclusion. 

If you get over that large hurdle then a lease option can work if you actually save for the purchase and you do not get unlucky to hit a depreciation cycle.Both people I have known that have had lease options chose not to exercise them because of a depreciation cycle.
