That way you have open forums, blogs, and messaging to ask questions, understand the syndicators criteria, and see all the posts syndicators are involved in.What criteria are you looking for as an investment for your next deal?

They tell you right at the start in which states you can apply this freely, which states have certain restrictions and which states you cannot do this without a license. 

The buyer may pay off the remaining balance at any time without penalty.2.Late Payment Penalty: A late payment fee of 5% of the overdue amount will apply if payments are more than 10 days late.3.Loan Security: The property will serve as collateral for the seller-financed loan.Hey @C.S.

The FHA rules/regs (in particular the FHA self-sufficiency test) are applied the same across all markets, and I know for a fact that in rural communities across the country, and big cities that are not particularly desirable places to live, it's not a deal-breaker, I am not commenting on those areas. 

@Jemini LeckieRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

So the advice on what to do with $20K doesn't quite apply. 

You can probably start the education process at 17, then apply for your license once you turn 18.

For a condo you can/should check the county assessor for land value  (you would apply the same allocation %, don't use their actual number listed) Also check your HOA documents.

It’s a great way to grow faster.HELOC or Equity Tapping: If you have equity in another property, using a HELOC or cash-out refinance could help cover the down payment without affecting your DTI as much.Seller Financing or Creative Deals: Look for sellers willing to finance directly, which bypasses traditional mortgage qualification hurdles.Scaling quickly often involves combining strategies—play around with what works best for your goals.

So back to the drawing board, but for myself the big takeaway is to continue on the course that I set out on and too continually learn and stay involved with goals that I set out on and to stay focused.
