Quote from @Jay Hurst: Well, no, the fed cut the fed funds rate which is the rate that big banks lend money to each overnight.

I have some equity in my rentals but dont want to touch them with the interest rates being so high...If there was a lender who could lend without me needing to save up the 65k-that would be great!

Looking to expand my portfolio and possibly invest in some syndication opportunities; does anyone have any experience with those and what to expect over the beginning, and long term?

Cash invested: $65,000 Limited Partner in the Regatta Apartments Syndication.

You will find many resource here that are more than willing to help you out with just about anything.I am a broker on the lending side of things and have a fairly solid presence in TX. 

I have been investing in real estate in my local market for 10+ years (flips, private lending, rentals).

That post gave me a good laugh... definitely a creative spin on multifamily syndication costumes!

Lending terms on properties owned in LLC tend to require more equity and higher interest.  

I know several California investors buying in Texas, specifically Dallas area, but they are doing a syndication to buy an apartment complex.

Unfortunately many lenders will see this as a red flag and may not take the risk to lend you the rest of the money even if you use stated income program or bank statement program but those are for self employed borrowers who have active income from their business but write off to many expenses that when filling their taxes their net income is really low or sometimes negative.
