I have worked with Easy Street Capital and they are a very straightforward lender which is a huge benefit.

@Jonathan TiradoReal estate investing is a viable side hustle for full-time professionals, offering a flexible schedule and tax benefits.

@Matthew Brown If you don't mind diversifying your real estate portfolio there is a way to take advantage of both financing options and all of the benefits of the 1031 exchange.There is something known as a diversification exchange that allows you to sell your relinquished property and purchase multiple replacement properties.

I think that there's a spin to your post that needs to incorporate the idea of being "welcoming" and "encouraging" of every member to pursue the long-term benefits of real estate responsibly, even as we of course do not want to encourage irresponsible real estate investing decisions.Curious to hear other's thoughts here.

There is no magic pill out there that gives ultra returns and is ultra safe there are many investments along a SPECTRUM of risk and potential upside with varying degrees of potential tax benefits and deferment strategies. 

However, Southern California—particularly cities like Los Angeles, San Diego, and coastal communities—benefits from a warm climate and constant demand, which helps to mitigate seasonal slowdowns.

Also that syndication is a whole other beast, and while there are tremendous benefits from starting a syndication, like taxes, acquisition fees, sharing the work load, etc, the risks are that much bigger.
