With the property needing lots of work, I provided a solution to the owner.

Given your low interest rates, refinancing isn't ideal, and traditional HELOCs may not work since these are investment properties.

I recently worked on an amendment to some condo plans we did 15+ years ago and I had to re-calculate how we got to what was in the plans and the values changed over two or three iterations as the attorney represented what to include and exclude. 

If investors want to just be lenders then I would work with them as a lender on the deal so you don't have to setup a syndication also not sure where you are located (app doesn't say) but if investors California may be way around syndicating 

Quote from @Jon LaBorde: @Jerryll Noorden the way you explained it was easily the best way I’ve heard it explained but the best way I can describe what I was told was “if you get a list of 1000-2000 there’s a 99% chance that you’ll get a deal, I’m not looking for a guarantee because I know it doesn’t work like that but I’m new at this and I’d like to get a running start so that being said I said I’d reach out to 10,000 people just to make my chances 99.99 if you know what I mean.

Not one single strategy will work for every property. 

There's a lot of work for labor in the area.  

I have one I need done Yes Im shooting you a message about a deal I am currently working.

All 3 are growth markets and have worked really well.

With the tech I am using (a lesser known PMS) I am able to automatically screen guests, get their selfies, write leases, and collect deposits in my work flow even for Airbnb guests.
