When doing this exercise PLEASE make sure you are factoring in a couple of things:- closing costs for acquisitions- working capital or cash reserves up front for a rainy day- operating expenses and replacement reserves- mistakes, bad years, bad acquisitions.

This would enhance the need for a founding basis to make such a strength.

There are hardship withdrawal provisions and others that can be exercised if you meet the requirements. 3) If you have access to a workplace plan, like a 401k, with a Roth component, you can consider that as well. 4) If you setup your Roth with a Self-Directed IRA custodian, they can allow you to invest in assets like real estate, private lending, private equity and other alternative assets. 

And, if you don't want the best candidates for purchase but just want to exercise that authority you think you have by being the owner, that is up to you.

How have you gotten aligned with your co-buyers in the past (any exercises, tools, resources, processes, etc you've used) and how might you do things going forward?

This guidance is essential in a market where not every property will yield profitable results.Furthermore, having a reputable lending partner can enhance an investor's credibility with sellers and real estate agents.

For the purpose of this exercise, I would like to start by separating syndications into two categories: (1) smaller capital raises that will only attract the friends and family sized checks because they require too much brain damage for those with the larger check writing capabilities;  and (2) syndications with capital raises large enough to fit within the investment parameters of true private equity/family office check writing capabilities. 

For enhanced returns on a RELATIVELY passive basis, I have had success with FURNISHED LTR, as well as 3 - 6 month leases.  

Prioritize high-ROI renovations such as kitchen and bathroom upgrades, flooring, and enhancing curb appeal.

I agree that choosing a style that enhances the property's appeal is key.
