This greatly helps me to be location independent and spend good amount of time in India.

Quote from @Raif Jochim: Bigger Pockets Community -I'm trying to plan for the future and have a question I'd like your thoughts on.  

Take a look at what markets you are planning on starting in and make sure it is a growing market where the appreciation is obvious. 

It’s great to hear you stuck to your plan and still came out ahead, even with a few bumps along the way.

Syndicates that used lower leverage points and have far-out maturities (such as 2029 or later) are likely to survive as long as they don't run out of cash to maintain the assets for longer-than-planned hold times. 

@Ben LeybovichI think in the perfect world, new investors would spend enough time and energy learning how to analyze properties themselves, what the various calculations mean, etc.

gotta echo the sentiment for spending some time on the ground even if a small amount on the front end. 

Martin the property management argument isn't really an argument if you look at the bigger picture that most investors don't want to manage their properties anyways because they are spending most of the time on their main job.

Your total spend might be like $1,500/year on everything from brokerage to MLS to boards.

How do you plan to manage the properties?
