Syndication might be the right investment for you, but given you are new to this, there is a lot to learn in analyzing these deals.  

Hey @Jason Stiteler,I was using the spreadsheet that's under the Pick Markets > Picking a Market Worksheet and just analyzing those markets.

I'm happy to answer any questions you have about analyzing markets or getting started.

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

However, if you prefer something more hands-on, a duplex could be a safer starting point.Ultimately, both are good options, but a 4-plex offers better long-term growth if you're ready for the larger commitment.If you need help with financing or analyzing your options, feel free to reach out, I’d be happy to assist!

It’s not just about finding deals; the platform helps you analyze them and connects you with experienced local teams.

You might find local meetups or online groups where you can share experiences and learn from others who have successfully navigated the process recently.Also, be sure to analyze the numbers carefully to ensure that the investment makes sense for you.

If you have no idea how to set up a pro forma that will answer #1, and #2 your issue may or may not be the numbers on the condo, it may be your analyzing technique.  

You'll gain insights into the most effective strategies for finding, analyzing, and securing the best deals.
