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. 

Due to the confusion on their end and their slow response, it's costing me more money than if I just went directly with the vendor from the start.

Won't be using them again on the next flip that's for sure. are you working directly with them or is this a broker who acts as a correspondent lender?

Always have a clear exit strategy, whether you plan to rent, flip, or sell the property down the line.If you or your son are looking for more hands-on guidance, feel free to reach out directly.

My area for example has to have certain signage and an emergency shut off button located directly by the hot tub. 

I have a dilemma on which direction to begin first.

I use Rentec Direct and I can just archive an application.

Also, only one exit/entrance that is directly next to the other unit upstairs.

Good morning, Taylor,We are a direct lender and not a broker here in San Diego, CA.

I just need to be pointed in the right direction because I get deals in my inbox from people I communicate with all over the country.
