Quote from @Grant Shipman: Hey BiggerPockets Community,If you’re raising capital for real estate syndications, you need to be aware of SEC regulations—because one wrong move could put you in serious legal trouble.Many new syndicators think they can just start pooling money from investors without following the proper rules.

I started by patching about a dozen (not small) holes in the wall, re-doing all the drywall in the bathroom, installing new shower plumbing, putting in recessed lighting, installing seamless LVP throughout, texturing/priming/painting all walls, installing new 5 inch pine baseboard all around, and installing custom bathroom vanity/pantry cabinets, and hanging new custom shaker doors in the kitchen.

Fortunately for me, I started investing a time in the market where everything went up.

The best way to start in rentals is by buying in your own area.
