I plan to continue to invest in a mix of both RE syndication and our own rental properties going forward depending on what makes the most sense and offers the best returns. 

It may be time to refresh the photos in your advertisement and offer a move in special with a reduced first month rent. 

Quote from @Jefferey Eutsay: I'm considering making an offer on a 36-unit multi-family property.

There are a lot of options with a 6 unit building, and I agree without more details that it will be hard to offer any specific advice. 

So, you, as an individual, may not get to the same rate that a MASSIVE national builder can...but you can certainly offer credits to the buyers to help buy down the rates. 

The key is to have clarity on what each offer and then decide what’s best for you.

Many cost segregation study professionals will offer you a free quote on the cost of the cost seg study specific to your property as well as the potential tax savings.HOW LONG DOES A COST SEGREGATION STUDY TAKE?

The key is to be ready, wait for the right property, and adjust your offer based on the strategy you want to deploy.The time of year is less important than the property itself.

Plenty of opportunities if you price your place correctly and you offer better options then local hotels. 

Your situation offers a lot of flexibility, which is a great position to be in.
