@Kevin GlassbergA syndication is just a cool term where a sponsor / general partner / deal finder pools money from limited partners / those with money to purchase an asset that will provide cash flow and/or appreciation.Syndications can be in start-up companies, venture capital funds, stocks, bonds, or real estate.We are on a real estate forum so we can discuss real estate syndications.A real estate syndications big sell is that it is hands off for the investor who doesn't have time to manage along with access to deals that he/she may not be able to do on her own.The cons are that you lose some control along with having a hold period that is normally dictated by an operating agreement(illiquid asset).Best of luck

Our number 1 goal is to get tenant that will pay and respect property but we do want to rent it so I guess market will dictate terms we will get, we are not pressured to lease out as we paid cash but we do want to get it rented.

In other words, I don't advocate to working for a good CPA and trusting them to do it... their job is to fill in the right forms but you need to be in control as the owner and not let the consultant dictate the scope of work.

If you get any push back, the answer is simple: "Whelp, this is what happens when someone without a mortgage license, and without seeing my personal finances, etc, tries to dictate loan type.

How, when and if the deposit is transferred or credited is already dictated in the lease.

I find distressed properties with good bones, rehab them for top rents.My challenge is the valuation of the property is still performed as a small mf (1-4 units) so the neighborhood Comps dictate valuation more than my improvements or the rent rate.I started to wonder how valuation was done for a portfolio of properties.  

Landlord can dictates the terms and conditions.

@Peyton ZachrichCheck the comprehensive plan for the city and see what the plan dictates for your area.  

We looked into this for a parcel in the city of San Francisco and found that side walks are considered public spaces and the city dictates how they are cared for.

The market dictates the cap rate, and the cap rate is based on the NOI.
