We're currently working on an apartment deal. It's not a cash flow or appreciation deal but a tax credit deal. Most of our investors are focused on cash flow or appreciation so we are having to expand outside our current circle for investors.

We have two other partners, and I myself am still trying to get over the fact that it's not cash flow or appreciation. They were discussing the return to potential investors, and as I understand it, the investors will receive their initial investment back in 6-12 months and tax credits. At first, the investors were to receive all the tax credits but our team decided that was too high a return.

My question is, do investors get turned off when the return is too high? As in, if it's good to be true it must not be true?
