My biggest suggestion is to thoroughly vet property management companies here—they can make or break your investment in some cases.Regarding your questions about financing properties, I’d recommend reaching out to @Ko Kashiwagi.

If you are serious I recommend Costar above all.  

., property management companies aren’t legally required to carry general liability insurance, but it’s highly recommended for protection against bodily injury or property damage claims.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I don't know if they will ever start construction and if they do how long will my money be locked with them.At this point, I would recommend to stay away from them until they can show some results with new constructions.In the meantime, I had invested in another syndication in the same time frame in the same Texas market.

For financing, I recommend you reach out to @Andrew Postell

If you want to buy in University city, I recommend staying as close to the universities possible in order to attract the best tenants and have the best room for appreciation.

.- I recommend avoiding condos. 

I would recommend that you analyze the operating side of the business and the capital side of the business separately.On the operating side, you can use AirDNA to predict the potential income which is gross revenue.
