From there, you can research through zillow/redfin whatever but your best bet would be to find an investor/agent (I a one but based in Fort Lauderdale) who can guide you through the process.

It has so much more than other courses, & I have many.Seth would be my second choice. 

Yes, I bet there are too many things to learn in REI and there's always something new to learn even for pros.  

Best bet would be disclose in your listing & disclose again in your welcome message when they book.

For what you are trying to achieve you'll want to stick to the suburbs and a few choice neighborhoods on the West Side of the city.

There's likely some good lessons he's learned that you may heed I'm not betting against you, but it seems like it could be a massive problem snowballing in the future.

I recommend considering your cash flow and debt-to-income ratio before making a decision, and consulting with a financial advisor to tailor the choice to your specific needs.Good luck!

In general, I’m of the opinion that if given the choice it’s always better to invest in a syndication than a blind pool fund.

You bet.

I bet you'll learn just as much (if not more) for about 1% of the cost.
