Follow the Smart MoneyWhen a major player like Blackstone makes a move, it is worth noting where they’re reallocating capital.

Commercial project development takes a long time, if there is additional cash that is not urgently needed its a safe bet.

If you want to be mentored your best bet is to go work for a company - most CRE is not a single individual and CRE is fast moving and things happen fast and you can't structure a "follow me to learn" without working for someone 

Now the seller has to convince his lender that it's a safe bet to lend money on to buy the house.

That might be your best bet.

But others may use it as a way to allow investors to "taste" their offerings before writing bigger checks, or playing the game like Nike (sponsor the college teams to build brand loyalty when the player goes pro).  

Your best bet is to look for portfolio lenders, local credit unions, or banks that specialize in condo loans, as they may have more flexible requirements.

We excel under current market conditions – the same ones that have many people panicking, as several of the major players in the real estate fund space are reporting losses, forced sales, foreclosures, and SEC investigations.

@Chris Guldi, while I have not done this type of deal before, I would think your best bet would be to go to the actual syndicators you know and ask if there is interest in partnering and what that partnership may look like. 

So, dscr would be your best bet, but it can be dicey as most dscr lenders want a minimum value per door, in your case it would be $60k.
