It's impressive that you were able to find this deal with very little capital.

Located about 1/2 mile from the base of Sabino Canyon recreation area and Coronado National Forest, beautiful mountain views, cut-de-sac, very nice neighborhood.  

The process has been gradual due to limited capital and DIY work.

Here in Florida there are some opportunities to purchase a brand new home, cash flow, and minimize your capital expenditures for quite a while.

Quote from @Dominic Mazzarella: I would ask this, when raising capital for a real estate syndication, what strategies have you found most effective for building trust and credibility with first-time passive investors?

To me personally as well I found it was more important for what I do to cultivate commerical bankers and those relationships so I could get access to bank rate capital and lots of it !!

I would recommend that you analyze the operating side of the business and the capital side of the business separately.On the operating side, you can use AirDNA to predict the potential income which is gross revenue.

Turnover and vacancy will kill your ROI along with capital expenditures, regular maintenance is important.  

This would allow you to defer the capital gains tax, and instead of taking a large tax hit, you would be able to use the tax to invest in a nicer property/properties.
