Any bank that wants to float your rate until completion is not looking out for you.

There are about 3000 pens floating around the Midwest.Craigslist and my side job account for 75% of my first time rentals. 

So what does it means by conservative syndicators are not just about how the financial modelling aspect (eg: syndicator that took 10 year fixed loan is very different with syndicator with bridge loan 5 year 80%LTV floating debt) but also how about it operates its business.I do not care about their philosophy as well, if they have the PM as their own internal team, I could be their friend.

When people is asking to compare syndication vs DST it means it's totally newbie question too sorry too say.I would say the DST is more structured like an REIT, it's the Mercedez Benz of Commercial Real Estate.In syndication it's more like Fast-and-Furious drifting car haha, some of the operators really wild wild west, they are running with DSCR 0.6x to succumb investor's money.

I've been able to make well over my debt service & floating costs every month since starting to operate Oct 2020.Every weekend bookings are continuing to happen even with the massive layoffs in tech and overall gloomy economic picture.

Some joints are supposed to "float", such as drawer bottoms and the bottom of the base. 

I am floating in dilemma as to how to make a first step.

I’d recommend going with a broker as they usually have better interest rates, and paying attention to rates (mortgagenewdaily.com) to see if they’ve fallen since you locked your rate and you could potentially float down to a better interest rate

Hint: they aren't going to float you good deals.Property Managers don't have time to help a newbie OOS investor find their first deal.

Possible gems here and there, but tax sales are no secret and there seems to be plenty of money floating around.
