I would prefer something I can buy once - software subscriptions are a nuisance.Something that automatically downloads transactions from my online banking portal and that can be used to easily categorize expenses for financial statements would be excellent.Thanks,KevinHi, Kevin.

Conventional financing is a great option to get started if you have a W2 job or easily verifiable income and you're financing a 1-4 unit property.

Since then, my cabins have tripled in value - worth easily $800K or more, and have produced $696,XXX in rents.  

With syndications many operators are using finance magic to juice returns, but that can result in full wipeout on the investors.

Personally I think there are good loans out there but people look for the "perfect" loan that fits their buy box and meets a desired return - which the return is going to be based on risk.So for many you cannot have your cake and eat it too. thoughts?

After this advice I feel it is much easier to invest locally where you can become a “market expert” more easily.

I have a prospective client that didn’t put their properties on the return and now need to amend.Potential pitfalls:1.

The same thing you claim on your tax return for your properties.

I understand why this is the choice asset for many: they are inexpensive with no barrier & easily financed (easily attainable).
