•I became a GP in 21 multifamily syndication/JV deals — one of which was sold today.

Next is to explore what strategy (long-term rental, short-term rental, mid-term rental, fix and flips, syndication, etc...) fits your investing goals and then your location.

And a second question, How much interest should I pay to the people lending me some money?

I work both as Realtor and lending.

I was also going to point out Detroit.. prices peaked there in the late 80s and into the 90s when I did my very first out of state ( for me ) lending for BRRR buyers it was Detroit and it was circa 2002 to CA investors. 

My goal is to partner on or syndicate a parking garage or lot in a secondary or tertiary market located in the Midwest, Northeast, or South by the end of this year.

I founded First Access Lending to provide access where others can't.I can write second liens up to 80% CLTV on investment homes, sometimes with rates lower than cash-out loans, AND you get to keep the low rate on your first mortgage.The products are rare, so I'm not surprised to hear other lenders saying they don't offer them and/or recommend other products.Let's connect, and I can give you a quote!

How risky are there. being the one lending the money for three years

Due to my background in consumer lending, I am highly skeptical of paystubs and other address verification due to the widely available websites that are out there to generate forms relatively easily... so I like to verify the information by contacting the listed employer using their listed number on Google to avoid possibly calling a friend etc. 

Many of you may know of me as I have been investing in Apartments - mostly Syndications - for 22 years and have invested in over 11,000 units.
