The term syndication often is used in a multifamily/commercial or other real estate transaction, where a property is being purchased and the GP needs to raise capital (equity, often) to purchase the asset.

Do I raise the rent and make $600 a month on passive income, keep the property and chance this home not appreciating much more bc of what's currently happening in Florida with excess amount of inventory sitting there?

We've seen seller financing come back in a big way, and I think it will continue as debt continues to be challenging.Syndication, raising capital for less experienced operators, and those who have challenging deals, will be more difficult in this part of the cycle.What tools/strategies are you using to close deals today?

Depending on the amount being raised, there is Reg D 504, 505, 506B, and 506c.  

Do you raise rent yearly and by how much?

I was raised to be a "giver", but that has caused me to allow others to use me periodically.

Unless you can do that I would start paying off my 401k debt and learn to raise private capital. expansion is good, but you are trading a lot of net worth for cash flow. learn to leverage outside capital so you're adding to equities rather than shuffling them.

I can muster my own capital + leverage but it would not be quite enough I think (and my wife might kill me).My instinct is to raise capital hell-or-high-water and refi later upon completion with a DSCR. 

I can raise my rent 5% + CPI  (3.8%) so 8.8%.
