What i desire is this to not be my problem.  

It’s rare in MA unless you’re shopping less desirable areas.

To thrive in real estate investing, you must maintain a firm grip on your finances.

In my firm, we underwrite the Sponsor as a company in addition to their individual offerings.

The difference in this portion of the execution can be $30k-$60k/yr more money in your pocket vs. that of our competition all other factors equal (such as the property size/location).Next, to drive costs down, I co-host (only for clients) at 15% which is 5-15% less than the large PM firms.  

I could (but not in a forum post) coach you how to categorize things for our firm, but guess what - your CPA may still want to change it to their preferences.

Since it will eventually be a rental property and you'll have to hire someone to cut the grass anyway (I assume there's grass😂) would trimming the hedges add a lot to the expense, or add a lot to the desirability of the property?

Many firms nowadays service all states, and through phone, email, and zoom calls you basically have everything you need.

Does anyone have recommendations of real estate syndication firms they've used?

Got to have a desirable location too.
