On a similar note, one thing to pay attention to with PMs is the security deposits.

I have a small real estate portfolio and a long investing horizon as I'm in my early 30s.Thoughts on why to stop 401k:- no match benefit- returns are very low avg. annual ~5.5% last 3 years net of fees- can only borrow up to 50k from 401k - limited access to capital until retirement age Thoughts on why it could be good to invest in ETFs or general securities example instead(SPY) :- higher returns 9% avg annual last 3 years net of fees - access to capital - securities backed line of credit (could be used as another form of liquidity to continue purchasing real estate) - long-term mitigated tax liability - if you never sell the underlying securities and instead use the line of credit as a form of liquidity to purchase assetsIt seems like this could be a long-term strategy with limited tax liability. 

My list includes - last 2 years employment history and current employment [2 paystubs], criminal checks, eviction checks, No Pets, No smoking, tenant pays utilities, maintains landscape, no subleasing, bring own washer & dryer, 1 month security deposit and transfer of utilities before moving in, rental insurance, all occupants will be on lease, notice period of 2 months for termination, tenant references, No cosigners, no painting walls, late fee notice, any hoa fines should be paid by tenant, inspection of property at 3, 9 and 12 months.Please let me know if I am missing anything.3.

🎉This deal came with several benefits that we believe set it apart from traditional syndications:1.Low Leverage & Investor Protection: We’ve committed to a low-leverage strategy to protect our investors, which we believe adds an extra layer of security in today’s market.

After accounting for social security and other investment income like IRA/Lifeinsurance/Stocks (of which was made possible because of real estate cash flow)  my mother would be classified as part of the1% and earns a corrsponding Passive income.  

The first mortgage would be secured against the whole plot of land.  

The county is the second fastest-growing in the U.S. and the fastest in North Carolina.The zoning for the project is already approved, and with our captive audience of potential tenants, I’m confident that all units will be leased upon completion.I’m seeking advice on how to best structure this debt with a private investor or investors in the short term until the property is fully rented and long-term financing is secured.

They worked together at a different real estate company, become friends, and started a company that is now a $5bn market cap public REIT.A lot of the syndications are partnerships with two co-founders (not including all the LPs that make them syndications).The thing with a partner is, it is very much like a marriage.  

I understand showings are part of the deal when a property is being rented or sold, but this seems like a huge breach of security and tenant rights.

I’ve seen some companies try to delay, hoping you’ll give up.Hire a Public Adjuster:If this is your first time, don’t try to handle it alone.
