Some good questions for him to ask each potential company are:- how long have you been in business- what is your fee (be specific on the number of properties involved and if it's forward, reverse, etc)- where is your operations staff located (ie where will be funds be)- what type of account will my funds be held in? 

Inventory has held steady at around 5-6 months for some time now, with roughly 4% more active listings on the market in the metro now compared to November last year.

Ensure your agreement with that person has teeth so if they sign off on something that isn't right they can be held liable for it. 

They bought it and held it, come hell or high water.

I have never invested in syndication.I understand diversification in different asset class (precious metals, real estate stocks etc).

2.Create a direct booking website and set up an escrow account where guest payments are held and disbursed to the property owner and cohost according to agreed terms?

I was informed that the property is held in a conservatorship.

When we miss, even a little, we don't mind being held accountable, fairly.  

The brokerage is often held responsible if an agent acts inappropriately.

I've regretted selling a few properties that I wish I held, but also very glad I sold others for the cash to use on other projects.Best of luck!
