I didnt know that the HELOC thing was classified as debt acceleration, and I would like to understand that concept more.

I love the concept especially given the need in your market for storing things like snow machines, boats, rvs etc, but also for repair or general "fab shops".As long as you are seeing the demand in your specific market for these spaces, and perhaps its worth getting some leases signed up prior to breaking ground but thats a personal preference thing, I think the numbers look promising if the use case is there.

But that is an other story in itself.Reminds me this concept: 2 dogs fighting over a bone while the 3rd just walks away with it.Then, traffic in my case doesn't matter.

It's not a real common concept here in DFW area, but I love it.Buyers have no downtime, no rent rate risk, lower vacancy risk, potentially instant cash flow day 1. 

I love the concept. 

Problem: Not having a mentor - piggybacking on the concept of an accountability partner, most people underestimate the value of a mentor.

Also, I am COMPLETELY confused about what your concept is and what you hope to achieve by buying 10% of PMC's.

Lastly, if you still decide syndications are appealing, get educated on how to vet the lead sponsor (including deep background checks), the market, and the deal itself (even though some concepts are similar, it is not the same as the single family long term rental analysis).

It was the second book I read, I have all the notes, I'll share here. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1blQFIKSls6JDHdl7srVMhXd8...The book mostly talks about investing in different states, and how to keep contractors honest, and monitoring renovations, but many of the core concepts are the same.

I believe I hear what you are saying though, for sure -- that it's better, more fair, and more likely to get deals, if you yourself can show up to the table offering something.... in hard cashbut you still have to know how "fix and flip" works, how to renovate something, how to negotiate.... what contracts to do, how long things take.... etcthat was the concept I liked about Gator, is that it's a team that passes that niche off to the other person, who is good at that - and they can all structure deals together.... you have the deal guy.... the money guy.... the fix and flipper guy, etc. -- and they find deals that could be good for all of them - and everyone is helping each otherI think BiggerPockets will be a potentially pretty reliable place - I know that there's different roles, "finders", "buyers", "sellers".... maybe I can just find deals, and connect people together, and get some kind of small finder's fee for it, or something.... ok so that first 10-20k is important to just be able to provide - when getting into this....
