With careful planning, you can develop a portfolio that consistently outpaces inflation and helps secure your financial future.I hope this helps.

In 2018, we had a property turn and the net cost to you out of pocket was around $500 (costs to repair minus the security deposit that was returned to you.)

Syndicators do this because most passive investors are not sophisticated enough to realize the "security" of the preferred return means they usually are giving up the potential for massive returns if the deal does well.This next comment would apply for all syndication.  

So I picked up a few books which includes, "The Book on Investing In Real Estate With No (and Low) Money Down," and "The Book on Rental Property Investing," both by Brandon Turner, which introduced me to the BiggerPockets community.With a decade of experience in property management under my belt, along with my property management certifications and an NC real estate broker’s license (with Broker-In-Charge designation), I’m eager to leverage my background to secure long-term financial stability for my family.

If you can save up 20% down in a low-cost market like Cleveland, you could use a DSCR loan to secure financing while you still don't have any stable income. 

I’ve been securing great deals for clients in the Hampton Rd area. 

Prioritize tackling critical issues and beefing up security to keep your property safe and sound.

However the event of default just gives the holder or beneficiary of the security interest the RIGHT to accelerate all payments and call the note due..

They have a group of funding sources that will compete against each other, this helps keep the final interest rate within reason, and offer a partial refund if they are unable to secure financing. 

If you mean security backed by collateral, you are correct.
