Snow both personally and professionally, we do the whole life cycle  from buying to getting tenants to selling.

You could then share the proceeds with the contributors.So many opportunities to make the real estate investment lifecycle more efficient!

Considering where we are at in the life cycle of the market, I would personally be apt to paying off my debt and only doing deals with a short turnaround time.

@Jeffery OlaruSure, my advice is that you speak with your financial advisor and tax professional.I assume you've calculated the ROI of the opportunity fund through the lifecycle of the investment and realize the risks that come with investing in these asset classes. 

I think it depends where the passive investors are and the syndicator is in their life cycle of age and also investing.At some point as net worth grows really high the syndicator or investor might simply have less of an appetite for value add and move more toward (set it and forget it) investments.

Know way too much about that :) The best learning, in all honesty, comes with doing a deal and dealing with problems that arise from the entire lifecycle of a deal - everything from analyzing, buying, and rehabbing properties.I still work full time and am an active investor.

I would not drop what is in the initial fund, but if she has no interest in learning about investing, the lifecycle funds are a fair option as an alternative.

If you are planning to do cosmetic repairs be sure to inspect major items that will become capital expenditures down the road to get a gauge on where they are in their life cycle.

I came across a renting platform Sandora. which helped to keep my complete renting lifecycle online.

Sounds like they're at the end of their life cycle, and just getting them touched up will likely end up costing more in the long run and hurt your reviews if it dies in the middle of someone's stay.
