I guess I could take some of these off-market offerings into a partnership... but its just not my style at the moment and I do not have the network to pitch it too.

Quote from @Mohammad Arif: Hello folks, new to this forum and to Real estate investment, looking to invest passively, both for long and short term, what would you guys recommend, what are your thoughts on real estate syndicates and who do you recommend, thank youI'm familiar with Gatsby Investments and have only good things to say about the company but everyone is different, so you have to see if it would work for you, your investment style, risk tolerance, etc.I believe, all of their available syndication offerings are limited to /around the area where they are physically located (Los Angeles, CA).

Multi family is much more difficult to get into, as AZ is more geared towards apartment style living quantity wise than duplex/tri/quad living.

I am trying to figure out what will remain in style for years.

those numbers don't work if you need design help I'd rework the Floorplans to smaller and higher rents to lower construction costs. 2.1 million for 12 units is crazy. we build at about 100k per door hard cost. suburban walk up style apartments fully leased up with land go for $155k a door over 100 units in columbus ohio. so if you work backwards take the equity and land out our pricing is right in line for build cost and that's with profit to investors.

In person learning can be great if that's your preferred learning style, but there are many online programs that will give you an abundance of information and the flexibility to go through the content at your own pace.

What is the happy medium of price, durability, and style.

@Janet Behm - I like your style!

I want to understand the demand for various locations and home styles. 

(It's more expensive) Or just ask them to get something close to they style and send me a picture before replacing.
