@Allen L.i hear you on the hassle of conventional loans, my portfolio is not as large as yours but I applied for a HELOC last year and it was a huge pain. 

Dear Wilkes-Barre-Scranton area, my name is Gabe and I'm relatively new to the real-estate game- but I'm eager to learn.

They can separate themselves from traditional real estate investors by building a robust EIN Corporate Credit ("Ever-Increasing") investment infrastructure that allows for faster portfolio expansion and more sophisticated financial maneuvering.

You typically get the monthly payments but also backed by portfolio and not one note.

This allows you to keep more money working for you in the real estate market, potentially helping you grow your investment portfolio faster.

I have not reviewed BAM's fees but it's likely based on their representation of UNDER 10% "skin in the game" that most of their "investment" is taken from fees deducted from the money gamblers place with them and counted as equity in the deal; this is a common practice in the syndication industry. 

My wife and I got in the rental property business a couple of years ago, having two small condos in our portfolio. 

Good Morning AllI am still working on transitioning from an active real estate investor ( SFR portfolio ) to passive investing.I have invested in one MF syndication with Vanamor in California.I flew down and met with the principal and toured the property and a numbe r of comps.Bobby was great and I am hopeful that it will turn out great.Now I have to place more $$ in January and was hoping to get feedback from members on a couple of syndicators.1,Sunrise Capital Investors  (Kevin Bupp ).Mobil Home Park funds.2.

Sounds like you are truly blessed to have a nice Chicago portfolio, but something is still missing? 

I estimate my rehab costs based on work that I'm always doing in my portfolio or the past flips.
