Would love to learn more about some best budgeting practices to account of these two costs ?

I have tried to find potential syndicators by literally tracking down who bought apartments that I see clearly have new owners... but in each case, to date, the new owner appears to not be open to outside investors (and so far no local outfits), so that's not working out.Kurt, due to my industry expertise, I have a very wide network, and work with hundreds of syndicators nationwide.

If you’re interested in connecting, I’m always open to sharing my expertise in the field.

Maybe you should be looking at your own investing practices…Go home troll! 

However, it does demand solid digital marketing expertise to achieve positive results.

Hi Alecia, thanks for the practical tips.

Throw in a dose of imposter syndrome and fatalism and you have a recipe for some mood swings right before a property is booked again.From a practical point, I would recommend great photos, a clearly defined target to whom you are advertising and understanding the best pricing of an area really well to ake sure you get booked in a timely fashion.From a more meta perspective, be aware that these listings don't typically get booked well in advance (families displaced by flood or fire, traveling nurses who need a new contract ASAP, and construction projects that realize they need a speciality engineer on-site RIGHT NOW don't book ahead). 

A place where we can review sponsors, provide direct feedback, positive or negative, and practice reviewing deals, now that the tide has gone out and we are starting to see syndicators and sponsors swimming naked. 

I am in the process of purchasing 3 properties all right next two each other. 1 multifamily and 2 commercial office space of which we plan on using a significant portion of for our medical practice.

HI @Jyotin GautamShort answer is no in Texas Long answer according to the Texas Real Estate Commission " Under the amended rule, a broker could give an unlicensed person a gift of merchandise having a value of no more than $50 and this would not subject the unlicensed recipient to a charge of unauthorized practice as a broker, nor result in a violation of TREC rules by the broker giving the nominal gift."
