The TX market is a GREAT market to start in.

The high appreciation market will be the higher cash flow market over the hold.  

Which market do you have experience in and how is your experience working remotely with your real estate team in the area?  

Granted, the real estate investing market was better in 2016 than it is now.Best of luck to you with whatever decision you make.

I've never heard of Kin, but I too am in the market for short term rental insurance.

No syndication experience but there are about a dozen quality RV/Mobile home parks on market in Oregon, several with owner carry options that can be passiv-ish with management in place.

Is his capital only paid back when there is a "capital" event like a sale or refinance?

Quote from @David Morovitz: I am researching Mobil Home Park funds and seem to keep circling back to Sunrise Capital Investors and Wellings Capital. 

What are you all seeing in the market right now?

Hey Christine, I might be biased, but you could look into Cleveland, Oh.Here are a few things to consider against investing there:- Slower appreciation compared to some other markets- Harsh winters, which can lead to higher maintenance costs- Many discounted single and duplex might need repairs or updates, especially if the previous owners haven’t kept up with maintenance over the years- Some local regulations to be aware of (nothing crazy, but worth noting when trying to close deals).But there are also some solid reasons to invest in Cleveland:- Affordable properties in the $100K-$300K range- Strong long term rental market due to a high rent to price ratio- Landlord friendly laws overall- Potential for great cash flow- Opportunities for Section 8 tenants- stable market once you have the right team in placeEvery market has pros and cons so it comes down to your budget, risk tolerance, and finding a reliable crew you can trust.
