That said, we're currently investing in a new syndicated fund (new build apartments) and are optimistic it will perform as expected. 

Would love to see how performance pans out over the longer term.Also, my personal gut tells me with turnkey that the properties are not BRRRR'able as you're essentially getting them post-renovation for their actual appraised value and not below.

How much is just fear mongering with the hope of influencing people to steer them to your line of product? 

But a lot of my clients that can get these better deals are now refinancing and keeping these and stacking inventory and when market conditions are such they can exit they will start selling and it makes sense hold them over 12 months and now you have a performing asset and you have cap gains instead of ordinary income.  

The ripple effects of global events and economic policies reverberate through our region, influencing interest rates, inflation, and housing affordability.

Background check:  I always perform a background check. 

Right now, I own some rentals in a rural area, and they're performing well.

Hi Margarita-Great question.There are many mental blocks and friction points to buying your first property.First off, just buying property outside of a first or second home to use is not done by most people and buying your first home is a major purchase for most people.That means the people in our immediate sphere of influence are not thinking about buying investment property, they see it as risky and out of a sense of protecting you or themselves encourage you not to do it.I remember having the same mental blocks and fears you probably do thinking about buying your first property or first investment property.The most critical thing to overcoming these mental blocks is self education and surrounding yourself with the best team of people to help you.An investor friendly Realtor who can refer you to an investor friendly lender, title company or closing office, property inspector, property manager, and insurance agent.Real estate is relational and having the best team will keep you out of the weeds.To Your Success!
