Quote from @Josh Deschene: Hello All,This is my first post and I will try to summarize as clearly as possible.

But also, even as Joe points out in his book, the true value of a syndicator is pulling together all the pieces.  

Note it often is not a result of significant NOI change (excluding some markets where a lot of new units have been added). 3 recent studies show it is cheaper to rent than own in virtually all of the largest US markets.  

Owner occupied united increased by 8.4%"Still, although the overall share of households that rented decreased, the number of rented units increased by over a million units (43.3 million to 44.6 million)."

I'm Paul from NorCal, passionate about real estate investing for long term rentals I'm particularly passionate about finding deals outside of California Excited to learn and connect with you all! 

I have one long term partnership that we share capital but I still do all the work ( rain maker) he is a cpa so he does do the books and tax return though :)  WE built one subdivision together were he put in 500k and I made him 1.2 mil in 18 months net profit so that was not bad.

Hope it all works out in your favor. 

The art and science of it all is that you don't lead with "I want to make an offer on your house", instead, you ask the homeowner "how can I help you?"

This is not a one size fits all answer, but bad debt is non-asset based or depreciating assets - , credit cards, medical, buying dumb stuff.Good debt is debt used to make or grow your portfolio. 

Hello community, First of all, I'm so jealous of you having an amazing community like this, we don't have that in Denmark, which is where I'm from.
