I didn't know where to put this post. I was listening to the podcast the other day and the guest was a man who syndicates all of his deals. I am curious to what yalls opinion on syndication is. It seems to me that it can be very risky but very high reward. Also, what are your views on taking out a loan to put in to a syndication deal? How do I find someone that will allow me to participate in a deal with them? How do I find a trustworthy syndicate? Lots of questions. Just curious, really, but I would definitely be interested in looking in to this. 

When I was looking to buy my first house I talked to my real estate agent about buying foreclosed homes and he told me to be careful. He was saying something about foreclosed homes not having a clean title. I am still interested in buying foreclosed homes but I don't want to dive in head first without some base knowledge. What do you guys do with your foreclosed home after you buy them?

Anything from wholesaling to flipping. I would like to start out by maybe bird-dogging for some people in my area. The only thing is I don't know where to find those people and once I do find them, how can I provide them a good service and build trust? Where do I start for finding good deals to pass along to the investors?

What can I do to find in esters when I have little to no money to put on my first rental? And how does the investor get paid? I'm sure there is more than one way to skin this cat.

I don't know if this is where I need to ask but is there anywhere I can look to see how the housing market is trending?

Just wondering if anyone has any tips on finding unit prices to build an estimate. I know that it differs geographically, but I have no prior projects to base anything off of.

Tom Parris I live in Greenville, SC. I'm on a .6 acre corner lot. Not very urban but all of the houses are still 50' - 100' apart.

Whenever I am checking comps in a neighborhood how far do I go before it's not considered the same neighborhood?

If I have a house with an ARV of $150,000 I know that I'm not going to go in there and put in marble countertops and crystal chandeliers. So how do I know what is too much and what is too little in terms of what materials am I putting into my house?

Christopher Giannino okay, that makes sense. Another question that I just though of. If I have a 3/2, 1970 ranch style house, that I have updated, how do I know compare that to similar houses that are not updated?
