I have not started, completed or participated in a syndication so tough to assess an ROI at this time.

Short term is always tough but not impossible at all especially with the high level of education and good hospitals in MA.

@Helena Goyvaerts it will be tough without 2+ years of USA tax returns showing you are profitable.Higher interest rates have negatively affected most lenders and many of them are getting more aggressive with offering more flexible programs.
