They seem to lack substance listening to their initial information.I liked Mark Podolsky but I was not a fan of his model. 

Quote from @Matthew Brown: Hello,Long time listener first time poster.

Little did I know I was going to stumble across some books mentioning bigger pockets, start listening to their podcast, and make a post saying this house is now going to be a fix and flip!

If one were to look at the list of portfolio properties presented on various syndicator websites and think that the syndicator listing them was the one that found, secured, purchased and asset managed all the listed properties, then one might arrive at an inaccurate conclusion for numerous syndicators.

My boyfriend and I have been listening to bigger pockets money podcast for about 6 months, and just started listening to the real estate podcast this week!

My team is also well connected to this sector of the industry allowing us to be experts in Land listings as well as have access to numerous Off-Market Listings.

I've really enjoyed just reading through the forums and listening to books about individuals paths and successful and the challenging deals.I've got big goals so I'm going to do everything I can to get to 60 doors before the end of 2026 and the deals I'm going to get into are going to net me a minimum of $100 cash flow per unit.

Rud, Syndication deals (and crowdfunding deals which are essentially syndications that are allowed to market over the Internet) can be set up in numerous different ways.So there isn't going to be one single answer for this.To answer your question, I am not an accountant and you should always consult with your own tax accountant before making any investment decision.

I listen to RE podcast pretty frequently and Marco's was one of them I used to listen to up until a few months ago. 

I have listened to plenty of podcasts and ready a number of books, but only a few mention purchasing yours first rental with a HELOC.
