Building Single Family Rental Homes (build and hold strategy)

[Matthew Crownover]

Hello my name is Matthew, I am from the Chattanooga, Tn area. I become interested and started educating myself on any articles I can find to do with real estate. 

I recently read an article discussing the growing rate of single family rental properties. In the articles in explained the reasoning behind this trend: housing crisis of 2009, harder to get mortgage without large down payment, growing transient lifestyle with job market today, and a recent increase in acceptance of renting vs owning. 

I have seen articles of big corporations building 200-300 housing developments but have not seen examples on a smaller scale. 

I guess my question is can this be done on a smaller scale in a real estate syndication? Say 10-20 houses?

How could you structure that if the investors pay 100% of the project? 

I am new and green in this field. Just looking for some explanation and examples to see how this industry of single family rental home communities work. 

Thanks

If you are new this is probably not the strategy to start with.  Get acquainted with rental properties first, permitting and construction second, and syndication last, this is something you really don't want to underestimate on or screw up halfway through, because there are fewer exit strategies.
