My plan was to be a GP on a syndication and that was also one of my biggest concerns, how was I going to play such a big role on so many units while being a lot younger (less trustworthy in some eyes) and no real estate experience?

But people have said on this forum that his track record isn't good, so I'm trying to find people who have invested in his full lifecycle deals to get more perspective.The deal I mentioned has an assumable fixed interest rate (for 5 years) of 5.3%, so interest rate jolts are less of a concern there. 

I’m concerned that $60K ($50K after penalties) won’t get me far in starting a short term rental though… I’m also hesitant to do a cash out refinance on my home loan because we have a great interest rate at 2.625%.

Are you finding it to be a major concern for buyers, or do they seem willing to overlook it in certain areas?

This is concerning and suggests that they may not be prioritizing their clients' needs.Let me know if I can help you in any possible way to get rid of this dilemma.

Glad to join the site here and looking to connect with people in regards to networking, working on business and any questions concerns people may have.

Why doesn't Airbnb decrease their fee if they are so concerned about fees?  

Blown out of proportion or a real concern?

Unfortunately, many regulations, such as design standards, go far beyond important safety concerns, and impose costly mandates on developers that drive housing costs higher.

They're  concerned that the borrower is going to do something stupid, drive the property into a ditch, impair the property NOI / cash flow, and thus impair the mortgage bond.
