I am debating if I should sell my 2 houses and just move the move into syndications or stock market.

Here's a roleplaying softball, look forward to your home run:I'm a newer investor and I noticed that these properties have cap rates listed right on them, and a higher cap rate is a higher return, google told me that cap rate is the same as ROI on the stock market.

you can build one development and entitle raw land and get 30k a month with your balance sheet and cash drawdown ability. no one who commented in columbus really does that but it's what I do. if you want to buy one at a time or 3 at a time and take your time in older housing stock I would but ground up land development and real estate development is very good and strong and new construction is on fire in columbus where the economics work very well. 

The next day I spoke with a principle at Secured Investment Lending who was very responsive and I closed earlier this week.

I know you're looking to buy in the suburbs but I created a Chicago House Hacking Guide and the principles are overall the same.You won't find $100k SFHs in most suburbs around Chicago except the south suburbs close to the Indiana border.

Paying $40,000 for “mentorship’s” which teach you nothing about real estate principles, real estate finance, or real estate law3.

I use numbers I can quantify, purchase, renovation costs, actual rent, tax, PITI, property management, principle pay down.  

I’ve always been a money-knowledgeable young man; credit (760 score), stocks, roth ira, 401k, etc.

Initially I was planning to use a mix of cash and stocks to fund this purchase, but now having the second thoughts whether I should use  just some cash and apply to some home equity financing options instead to cover the offer amount. 

I work 2 (soon to be 3 jobs), live at home, attend college, have 20 grand saved up on top of stocks and an IRA.
