Quote from @Parker Bullard: I'm looking to purchase my first investment property and need help figuring out a strategy that will work for me.

I’m currently leading a luxury condo project in Cabo San Lucas and looking to expand my knowledge in real estate syndication.I’d love to hear from experienced professionals about:✅ Best practices for structuring a successful syndicate✅ Key strategies for raising capital effectively✅ Navigating the legal and financial aspects of syndication✅ Lessons learned from successful (or even challenging) syndication experiencesI’m here to learn and connect with like-minded individuals who have expertise in this area.

That means that you can buy a house on the South side -- identical to one on the North side and in its doppleganger (save race) neighborhood -- for literally a $100,000 less than you can on the North side.

If you’re serious about scaling, consulting with a real estate-focused CPA will help maximize your strategy while staying tax-efficient.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Financing and Exit Strategies MatterMany house hackers use FHA or low-down-payment conventional loans.

I moved to Ohio and now work as an agent and a new investor in the Cleveland market.Single families are in the 90-120k price range, and duplexes are in the 120-180k price range.Many out-of-state investors have grown their portfolios in Cleveland using the BRRR strategy.

But if you have passive income from another rental or real estate syndications, using it now might actually be a good idea.It all comes down to strategy—don’t rush the process just to get tax benefits if it’s going to make financing your next deal harder.

I'm acquainted with a couple of local investors, but would love to connect with others in the area (or nationally/internationally) with similar experiences and strategies. 

Are you leaning toward a specific strategy like buy-and-holds, flips, or house hacking?

House hacking with 5% down is the only realistic viable strategy in RE.
