"evaluating if syndications are right for you" implies more internal questions: am I willing to give up complete control?  

Those fees are gonna eat up all your profit like its nothing, or am I imagining things?

Seems like if I went with hard money I would be pay more in the interest only portion of getting the hard money… what am I missing here? 

My question is, am I able to pull a portion of that money out and just get hit with the gains?

Is that still a bad area to buy rentals or am I going to get renters but horrible ones?

I cannot seem to find any information on if there is a waiting period, am I tied to the purchase price as the home value even if there are significant improvements to the house that raise the market value of the house?

Why am I telling you this?

Am I missing anything?  

If am lending personally am I able to write off taxes from the interest from the HELOC, or would I only be able to do that with an LLC or S-corp?

Am I wrong to assume that?
