Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: I think so at least for the ones we read about on BP..I had the same experience total loss on multiple syndication deals So I am feeling pretty good about how we are doing..

If you are moving from your SFR to another property, then you should be able to get a 5% down loan or even 3% if it's FHA.  25% is only if you won't be living in the property in my experience.

I manage around 400 rentals with 14 years of experience and have never been sued once.

The "New Development Pitch" turned out to be a really good learning experience.

Are you set on starting with a larger property, or would you be open to beginning with something smaller to build experience?

Thank you for posting that very detailed experience.

Ask how many units they manage and how much experience they have.

Investing close to home allows you to gain hands-on experience, learn the ropes, and be more involved in the day-to-day.

Hey Trevor, shoot me a message to see if we can work on this together, but while i HAVE NOT seen this, I can connect with some PMs to see if they have experience doing it.

My experiences were a couple of years ago and I was originally told the appraisal had been assigned and the rate would be $780 but then later I was told that appraiser was cancelled and they'd found someone else who it was assigned it for $935.
