Real estate syndication investing is still quite valuable as it can offer higher Returns than investing in public REITs but not as high returns as direct ownership and management of real estate by some experienced people, but with the benefit of being far more passive, than direct ownership/management. 

The overall trend of the 10-year treasury appears to be downward reflecting as well right now, with the most recent high of 4.8% on 1/13/2025 failing to touch the previous high of 4.98% on 10/19/2023 and now sharply falling to 4.62% today (1/24/2025).

Goes back to that original thesis in a thread long time ago-- quality over quantity.

The quality of your tenant is just as important as the investment you make.  

Here’s how they approached it:1.Scraping Listings: They used web scraping tools like Beautiful Soup and GPT APIs to scan Airbnb for properties in their target areas.2.Image Analysis: They trained an AI model to analyse listing photos, identifying homes with solid potential (good structure, layout, location) that were undervalued due to low-quality photos.

People who complain about the quality of leads typically fail to understand that it takes months and sometimes even years to nurture and convert a lead.

Are there specific qualities or terms you look for that make the relationship a good fit for your investment strategy?

You'll get differing amounts and qualities of leads depending on the type of marketing, but also depending on who you're marketing to and where.

@David YoungRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
