We are probably around average I would say as far as risk tolerance (leaning more toward more conservative if anything).

It should give potential buyers a clear idea of what they can expect from the property and why it’s worth considering.Use High-Quality PhotosThey say a picture is worth a thousand words, which couldn’t be more accurate here – photos are a critical element of your real estate listing.

That way I don't have all my money invested in, say, a 2009 (which was bad), and they average out (with they years before and after which were good).

I say a range because a lot goes into the rate; LTV, cash out or not, rural or not, number of units, DSCR percentage and of course credit score.Hope that helpsStephanie

One thing to consider if house hacking this way versus say a 2 unit building.

And for those who say the dressers mess with the flow and make rooms crowded I would say a nice (not oversized dresser) in the bedroom probably makes it easier to feel organized.

I will say as someone who has done syndications,  usually the operating agreement is clear that the managing member of the fund (manager) may get paid a percentage of profits or even a management fee or both.Assuming the syndication was setup as a LLC, then everyone involved would receive a K-1, both investors and the managing member. 

And one must ask themselves WHY anyone 'advertising' to teach others, won't agree to "share the risk" by meeting someone 'half way' for say a minimal down payment, then "doing the work" necessary, or they LOOSE their' deposit?!'
