I’m currently leading a luxury condo project in Cabo San Lucas and looking to expand my knowledge in real estate syndication.I’d love to hear from experienced professionals about:✅ Best practices for structuring a successful syndicate✅ Key strategies for raising capital effectively✅ Navigating the legal and financial aspects of syndication✅ Lessons learned from successful (or even challenging) syndication experiencesI’m here to learn and connect with like-minded individuals who have expertise in this area.

we can do it not rented but rate will be significantly higher. easier and more cost effective to rent it. unless the bridge money needs to be paid back asap or you need the funds back to buy more, then a cost analysis needs to be done. personally id get it rented at market rent or a touch below if time is a factor. 

The ability to effectively self manage would depend on the scale you are trying to buy.
