@Sras SathIt is a difficult market and I am not sure that Re investments as a beginner makes financial sense these years.

A lot of these syndication networks keep the list of investors secret, so it’s difficult to discuss the deal with each other.  

It is really difficult to get a good deal from a bank, unless you buy with cash, in a quick transaction, don't require an inspection and buy in bulk.

This is one of those "difficult" things to talk about, especially in a public forum

What if it takes a long time to get clients (it's difficult to be an agent right now!)

I would much rather pay tax on just the interest income rather than on a distribution of that amount, that I've already previously paid income tax on.But, when getting funding for deals, from either hard money lenders or other lenders, will having that loan on the books create a roadblock that could make getting funding more difficult, potentially costing me deals?

This is called cash-for-keys and is common in markets where eviction is difficult.

I chose to build my PM business from ground.To create a working system and to organize processes is difficult in the beginning, but to my experience it is possible to create a working model based on personal knowledges and then to provide a high level of service to the clients.

@Michael Behr - cash flow in Huntsville right now is very difficult.  

Getting into real estate is tough as it is, and coming up with the down payment can be extremely difficult, especially if you don't have the income to support it.
