If you’re renting an apartment building to mostly Section 8 tenants, the main difference from single-family or smaller multifamily properties is scale—you’re dealing with more units, so you’ll need solid systems for maintenance and tenant management.

The main Real Estate one, On The Market, and BP Money are some of my favorites, but I also listen to the Rookie show when the topics are interesting. 

On the other hand, I feel one of the main advantages of passive investments (via syndication/crowdfunding) is that I can hire a manager who has years more experience than I can ever hope to obtain myself.

Although as @Drew Sygit asks, what have those PMs that pledged to do it better now learned that may bring them back into line with main stream service providers? 

Most (virtually all) are giving values below the main ppsf. 

The main thing is to stick with great location and premium properties.

I mainly wanted to know if other investors in syndications were experiencing the same thing.  

This property is in the mountains and has electric heat, so the main bill comes in the winter when the heat is running.  

I believe the main issue is 2 fold: 1.

I'm considering investing in STR in Hawaii to diversify my investment portfolio (mainly for capital appreciation) as well as it being a regular vacation place for my family.
