Will be far easier to purchase more property with 10% downpayments vs 20-25% for each one.Umbrella insurance isn't too expensive, $2M for $1200 per year.Just be sure to run the properties as a good business, address any concerns brought up by the insurance company (they usually do annual inspections). 

There are a lot of groups out there right now that had made-for-TV track records that will likely not be in business in a couple years.Focus on the experience of the team, how long they have been in the business, how many market cycles they’ve survived, their philosophy on leverage, and how many properties they bought in 2022/2023 (a good answer would be few, a great answer would be none).And do yourself a favor and read The Hands-Off Investor (in the BP bookstore) before you invest a single dollar in a syndication. this was incredibly helpful, thank you Brian.

Lexington is good if it's over 275K they go much easier on you but I personally do the surrounding areas such as the Red River Gorge which has over 600million visitors a year and no issues with STR

Hassan Oukacha The rent prices will likely be easier than the sale prices.

@Nik Farooqui You are correct in that GC licensing is never a requirement but it is more of a "silent factor" that can make a lender more comfortable lending hard money and thus the approval and loan process easier.

The market was much more forgiving and easier to find deals if you bought in 2012 to early 2022 and more so prior to 2012. 

And it makes it easier for an investor to roll their preferred returns back into the fund if they so desire.- Our current preferred return is 12% a year, for a 3 year term (keep in mind these funds along with the notes that they purchase exist within a marketplace so returns fluctuate depending on the offering). - ACH payments are received by investors on the 1st of every month, so participation in our fund is a purely passive investment vehicle that's open to accredited investors only (and like Patrick said above, accredited or not, anyone can purchase a note).As an added bonus, investors in our fund can redeem shares to purchase notes upon availability. 

Easier said than done.

Quote from @Carlos Ptriawan: totally agree, key point is don't lose money by not having complete understanding of future risk.we're in the great collapse of CRE market and LP is destroyed because the passive investor is the dumb money, time is important but not to lose money is incredibly even more important , the total collapse in many commercial real estate sector is way beyond 2008 as it seems.Carlos, where are you seeing that "we're in the great collapse of the CRE market" ?
