I invested briefly out of state, and while I made money, I wasted a lot of time chasing returns.

I have resolved to not apply for another personal card, but the Chase points are sure appealing. 

Interesting - I have been investing in Philly for 8 years, run a  group of 2500 small landlords, speak at lots of events, know and network with many of the players  . . . but never heard of him before.

That will typically spook them into catching up or chase them out.I recommend you read some books (see my signature?)

I had been using Stessa, which I really loved, but it is buggy and the banking connection to Chase was continually breaking, which I needed to re-connect, but when I did that I had to go through 200+ transactions and re-allocate the expenses. 

@Sanjay Bhagat, I am all for chasing returns, and if that is the goal, then I agree with you that real estate in general and syndications, specifically, are not worth it.  

Also you would not reduce the price because of the interest payment. that is not how it works.3. yes the note could be sold, but at what type of discount and what if the borrower stopped paying.while there are a lot of posts on seller financing, some estimiate less than 1% of all transaction have seller financing and the ones that do are first position only with an average of 30% down payment - most of these are to people who do not have verifiable income.Thinking you will get conventional financing then seller financing will be uphill battle as the conventional lender most likely will not approve a 2nd mortgage for purchase.not trying to dissuade you, just wanted to provide some key insights so you do not spend 1000 hours chasing something that is impossible to find.

Connect with a few players who know your submarkets like the back of their hand, and suddenly you’re not the lone wolf trying to move product.

I agree with JP Morgan Chase. 

Same happened to me when i applied they rejected it after I spent 40 hours chasing my tenant down.
