I've found deals in local online groups on Facebook, simply asking people for what I want. 

Do most people get the property under contract in a single-member LLC and then assign the contract to the syndication LLC during the DD period? 

Proper time tracking and logs are critical for demonstrating compliance with this rule.I've only seen one person with a W-2 qualify for reps, and that was from a tax court case where people had to come in in person and attest to his hard work.

We have had people leave early and in some cases I did give them a bit of cash back due to the circumstances.

This gives you a better opportunity to do STR or MTR and not bother yourself or the LTR tenant with more people coming in an out.3.

I’ve never gotten that from a traditional lender but I have heard of people that have.

I know some people do this but proceed with caution.

Also, why do you think so many people are advised to get an LLC when starting in RE investing? 

I think it is pretty rare that people getting free space rent actually work enough to earn it. 

I've heard more than a few horror stories about people who lost everything doing just that.
