I’m currently leading a luxury condo project in Cabo San Lucas and looking to expand my knowledge in real estate syndication.I’d love to hear from experienced professionals about:✅ Best practices for structuring a successful syndicate✅ Key strategies for raising capital effectively✅ Navigating the legal and financial aspects of syndication✅ Lessons learned from successful (or even challenging) syndication experiencesI’m here to learn and connect with like-minded individuals who have expertise in this area.

The transition isn't just about property size; it's about shifting your entire approach.I've observed that successful transitions typically happen when investors have:- Stabilized 5-7 single-family rentals with systems in place- Built relationships with at least 2-3 reliable lenders- Established a maintenance crew that can handle larger projects- Accumulated at least 6 months of operating expenses as reservesI asked a client of mine who owns a 420-unit multi-family in Nevada how he started his RE investment journey, and he told me that he started with a duplex in Buena Park, CA, 40 years ago and used the 1031 exchange to grow his portfolio to 420 units, never paid taxes on sale of any of his properties.The most seamless path I've seen starts with small multi-family (5-10 units) rather than jumping straight to 50+ units.

Looking for some advice (or your checklist, that would be cool) from PMs who have been in the game for a while.My current checklist consists of general move-out requirements (keys, forwarding address etc.), cleaning, utilities, yard and exterior, final walk through prep, and documentation.

When I sell it I will be back at square one, no harm no foul.And I do mean WHEN I sell it. 

I would invite you to come out to one of the meetings, reach out if I can be of any help. 

We haven't been able to sit down and really focus on what will be the best investment project...but...we should get on a zoom call and discuss it in more detail. 

@Eric DeNardo I would be happy to share some information about my experience investing in Costa Rica.

It won't be 100% accurate, but it will be close enough.

Cash flow will be a function of how much you put down. 

Meetup.com is a good resource for those but some of the groups will also post here on Bigger Pockets Marketplace too.
