Hi Rafael,You can start with a SFR or duplex if you'd like to avoid using a property manager, but if you really want to scale up you should be utilizing a property manager.

It's not a big hit to me if both projects go to zero, but I'd still like to know what's going on given that the group has missed two reporting periods.I know that this kind of thing has been somewhat common among syndicators in the past year or two due to financial challenges but I don't think rising interest rates should have hurt these projects much.

I always knew this was a common problem in the real estate space and I was always curious as to what was the underlying issue.

Thanksbala Yes, my exact situation is a fringe one, but having vouchers change values is extremely common.

I also utilize subordination of the mortgage and substitution of collateral where appropriate to create the “enhanced” returns that I seek.  

Whenever I read investor posts about unit count goals and utilizing section 8 rentals as the vehicle to scale a portfolio it loosely translates to buying real estate without paying attention to the fundamentals in the markets where they invest.

The most common portals I found in my search were: Syndication Pro, InvestNext, Groundbreaker, Investor Deal Room, Cash Flow Portal, and Juniper Square.

Or just used $15k as a downpayment and then had to make a couple months of payments to make the property ready, pay for inspections and repairs, commissions, utilities, advertising, and then it sat empty for a month and you had to make another payment?

The lease termination fee needs to be paid at the time they request this, do not substitute the security deposit for this purpose.This will ensure compensation for time, money and effort needed for a tenant turnover, including advertising and showing costs, regular repairs, utilities during vacancy etc.

A common structure is either a debt arrangement (where the investor loans the money and gets a fixed return) or an equity split (where they share in the profits).
