“Does anyone know of a website or resource that reviews Real Estate Syndication sponsors or offerings?

However, if you can identify a reinvestment opportunity that offers significantly better returns or aligns with your goals, selling through a 1031 exchange could make sense.

A number of our offerings are secluded; many vacationers are looking for that experience.

Have a scenario to run by everyone:My wife recently received a job offer in which she would make a lot more money, but we would have to relocate.  

A scenario where you intented to hold but something came up like an unsolicited offer, higher expenses forcing a sale, change in demographics etc.   

If you offer more $ for the property than the all cash offers AND you appear to the seller to be highly qualified in the method you are using for sourcing the payment, at some point your offer will be more appealing than the all cash offers.I don't understand why you would consider a 1031 for another property in two years. 

Not a lot of our competitors offer this but it's something we can consider (but for us, it can't be in a rural area, the loan amount must exceed $150k, if we're using PadSplit income (or STR/MTR income) the max LTV is 75% and the down payment must come from your own funds). 

STOP blindly regurgitating whatever media you consume.

Many agents offer a temporary agreement (Zillow uses 7 days) for a few showings or a single property, so you can test the relationship without a long-term commitment.

This might give a one-time (non-scalable) boost to cash flow, offer multiple value-add options, and allow the house-hacker peace of mind, via the assumed mortgage, in long-term breakeven or positive cash flow in the event that the value-add plans end up not being executed, and/or the person has to move out, and rent by the room or STR become unavailable for some reason at a future date.
