Some syndicators have so many fees (acquisition, construction management, asset management, capital event, disposition) the syndicator is going to get rich even if the deal produces zero return for its investors.

See what qualifications people are looking for and do what you have to in the meantime to produce income while you're studying. 

I found a property in my area that would produce decent cash flow and appreciation; however, I would have to use funds from a HELOC on a different rental property for the down payment.

Since the last time I was online, I have grown the investing to fix and flipping and a portfolio of 4 properties that are producing passive income.  

I don’t think so, but I’m interested in seeing the evidence if you can produce any. 

Those that use it seem to like it and - as a CPA - I like the reports it produces. 

The claims of 1hr to collect rent, produce receipts, and deposit checks also seems like a reasonable claim if done physically and not electronically.

If you love property management and want to start a business keep looking into it.Otherwise keep buying income producing properties to generate wealth.

This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.

It would be a way of leaving an inheritance that's all wrapped up in an income producing bow.
