he seems to have some complex strategies for asset protection and taxes. 

@Tito Burgos I would argue if you use the money on a buy and hold, and buy right, you will be about refinance into long term money with a bank and take your Monday to many more deals.. it seems like that’s called BRRR on this site.This will leave you with your original cash and an asset that is producing cash flow every month.

-you need to consider disposition of asset, exit cap rates and valuation at key points like refi (if that is part of your strategy) and end of loan term Overall, I would say that all of the above needs to be put into a MF underwriting model as there are a lot of factors missing that will blow this investment up (in a bad way).

Hello everyone,First things first - I'd like to thank all of the contributors to this forum, your advices and inputs taught me *A LOT* - so I'm grateful for that.TL;DR: For a new RE investor with a good starting point (liquid assets), would it be better to take "x" amount of 15-year mortgages, or "2.5x" amount of 30-year mortgages?

The Operating Agreement must contain language sufficient to address IRA-related issues concerning Prohibited Transactions (26 USC 4975), The Plan Asset Rules, the allowance of subsequent or additional Capital Contributions and Unrelated Business Income Tax (including language that ensures that the Manager of the LLC will prepare and file all necessary tax forms with the appropriate taxing authorities, Federal, State and local).

@Nick Dillaha You're evaluating this scenario completely wrong, The bank will accept offers close to what the property is worth today, The price in which they took the property back will not weigh on the Asset Manager as he's pricing against the current market then expecting investors to come in somewhere between current value and current value plus estimated repair cost.

It depends on how much asset protection you're looking to gain and if you are taking the deal down with financing.

I live in a very hot rental market and demand is much higher than supply.My housing authority publishes a chart of what they will pay for the amount of bedroom house that you have.

Repealing Prop 13 will see asset values fall, not rents go up.
