My plan is to set up a syndication fund with Canadian (and U.S) investors to purchase short-term rental properties in the Puerto Vallarta and Rivera Nayarit area (which is booming).

Letting Go for Your Bottom Line: A Lesson for Real Estate InvestorsHey BiggerPockets Community,If you’re a real estate investor, whether you own rental properties, flip houses, or manage syndications, there’s a critical lesson that could boost your bottom line: Letting Go.Many of us get into real estate because we want control over our financial future.

I am a VA loan specialist with The Veteran Lending Team and a proud Marine Corps veteran. 

I am working on syndications and JVs 

There's a standard syndication that goes out to sites like Zillow, Redfin etc that is included when it is listed in the MLS; hence why people can find properties from across the country. 

Quote from @Scott Trench: Why not lend? 

Many don't come from traditional lending sources.

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this.  I have the opportunity to help a family member be part of a joint venture with them putting the down payment down.  They aren’t able to get a mortgage themselves so...

I was thinking what Dave Foster said in regards to you having troubles, especially with buying a syndication.

Are you focusing on your construction business more than real estate syndication?
