@Chris Grenzig let’s get @Brandon Abbott to share his renovation expertise

I always get models with a 3/4 hp motor and a stainless steel grind chamber.  

perhaps moreso disappointed because the business model truly is brilliant.

I have a solid amount of capital to invest and am looking to invest remotely in the Midwest or South in places that will provide a net income and, of course, ideally also provide at least a minimal amount of appreciation, but I'm definitely leaning more toward the cash flow model given that I'm an older investor. 

If done well you could then do similar syndication models in many other states where there is a likely similar need/market?

I'm looking at one right now with the following (real, live situation):3.85% commission, 0% annually (unless you go through an RIA, you shouldn't be paying any fees to participate in a DST along the way; but there are operating expenses that are transparently modeled based on the assets in the Trust), disposition fee of 2% (subordinated to a full return of original investor equity outside of monthly distributions).

They have 1 slot open Monday and that if I make a decision today he can replace the unit with a brand new model then (it was a Saturday).

Partnerships can provide additional capital and expertise, helping you access larger deals.Seller Financing: Explore seller financing where the property owner acts as the lender.

Any thoughts or ideas to make either model work the best (selling on contract or renting)?

Even if the intentions are good once these syndicators are capitlized with outside money, there will be carnage as they don't have the operational expertise to deploy and manage the assets they acquire.
