I was thinking handing them the lead and if they close it then they'll send me a % of their commission split after the sale for “marketing efforts”.

The color of the state won’t make your deal pencil out—market mechanics will.

Since you’re a passive investor in the self-storage deal, those K-1 depreciation losses are considered passive under §469.

Generally now the best deals are ones that need work. 

Let me understand the decisions behind your deals.

This is something that I think a lot of people get wrong.Let's say you spend 100% of your working hours putting together funds for the sole purpose of using investor capital to invest in real estate.You partner with sponsors that are running deals, and you are a co-sponsor (co-GP).Your main responsibility is to underwrite, raise capital, and monitor performance.

I repeat, I’m doing this kind of deal ALL DAY LONG.  

A low offer with no explanation can feel dismissive, but when it's backed with clear reasoning and strategy, it opens the door for real conversation and negotiation.At the end of the day, we’re all working toward the same goal: getting the deal done in a way that makes sense for everyone involved.

This was back in February when we closed. 

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?
