My $50k as a 20% down for a loan of $200k, giving us a total investment amount of $250,000 vs $50,000.I've built a spread sheet and can tweak terms....but most variations I work on come out cash flow positive (more so than pure cash only), and on the refinance and sale proceeds is where the leverage really kicks in.The loan would have to have collateral......so one could use 1) Their business, 2) Current holdings, 3) Home (hope not), or.......4) Since as a syndicate investor we will be an actual owner of the property (hence the ability to depreciate our share) is it possible to use our future stake in the property as collateral itself?

@Taylor WagnerWe after a year of trial and error have developed a system that works for us.

The truth is, you could read 100 books and still not know enough because certain things need to be learned through trial-and-error.

I think you may need to automate responses based on trial and error.
