However, prior to the last couple/few years, commercial residential syndicators had many years producing outstanding returns.  

They could firesell the property for BE even if I do a piss poor job.Not in my experience, I was only able to get financing on my first apartment because I had experience landlording prior (I had about 15 units comprised of small MF up to 4 units before I was able to get a commercial loan on 5+ units).

There are tons of syndication opportunities in the market place.Check out @Ian Ippolito's site or 506investorgroup for lots of information on syndications.I spend more time analyzing new opportunities than analyzing prior investments (the horse has already left the barn on those).

Some cards claim to send a notification to the bureaus any time the balance hits zero, but it is more likely they won't report until the next statement cuts, so you need it to be reported to whatever bureau the bank pulls from prior to them running your credit. 

I always recommend that clients do the cost segregation study prior to the rehab on their property.

Prior to rent control in my market, I had preferred tenant rent, normal tenant rent, and PITA rent.  

The company should have made an inspection prior to issuing the policy . 

I had refinanced at 3% for 15 years prior to moving out.

My prior tenants of 5 years (and the ones prior to that, who stayed for 2 years) never had an issue.

Rent payments were being made prior.
