The main costs I have questions about are linen services, consumables (toilet paper, trash bags, paper towels, tissues, shampoo and other amenities such as coffee/tea) and repairs & maintenance (R&M).

Placed in a gift bag and cost under $14.  

Most of the time, authentic courses/gurus don't charge an arbitrary high number FYI. 

Because lots of TJ bags and empty cartons that held beer.And please tell me you or your team introduced the seller to this invention called a trash bag, or at least mentioned that the TJ bags could be put to good use for holding some trash.

If tenant A leaves a bag with goodies, tenant X might steal it.

More than any other business, deciding to invest in a real estate syndication is a declaration of faith in the deal sponsor.In many ways, that faith far outweighs the faith owners of Tesla shares must have in Elon Musk.And Musk is a one in a generation entrepreneurial genius inventor.Like many seasoned real estate investors,I decided long ago that wealth-building was a life-long game of patience and perseverance.On both counts,a real estate syndication fails the test.Most syndicated deals have a hold period of 3-7 years after which the exit strategy involves selling.The few that attempt to hold on to the asset via a refinance run into uncooperative investors who demand their seed capital back for various reasons,often resulting into a compromise to either buy them out or risk a legal battle.The facts of the matter are very basic:if it's not your deal,you don't make the big calls.Conversely,if it's not your money,you don't get to decide it's final destination.Now there's a good reason I never got into the flipping niche either.I'm not a transactional guy.It always felt like slaughtering the hen that lays my eggs,and I love my eggs to bits every time they are laid.It's why I keep going back to the hen.In the end,we don't need 1000 units to achieve financial freedom,we just need a handful of well acquired cash flowing assets to arrive at that place of peace.With some patience and due diligence,most people can get there without sleeping with 75 strangers every 3 years only to end up with no portfolio and a bagful of inflation susceptible cash with little to no tax advantages.That's where we did not want to be in the first place.If you do succumb to the temptation and end up being one of the few deal sponsors that actually look the part and take care of investors' money like it's yours,do make sure you haven't "quit" one job that you hate just to work in another that is even more soul-crushing.Managing multiple syndicated deals as a good deal sponsor can be big business,and big businesses can very easily turn into time-devouring leeches.Covid has shown us all we are nowhere near capable of seeing 3 months ahead,let alone 3 or 7 years.An asset is only really worth what the next buyer is willing to pay for it,no matter how much "forced appreciation" we have projected to investors in a rent drop environment.When balloon payments come due,thou shall sell or refinance,and good luck refinancing if the LTV is suddenly inverted.When the pieces suddenly don't fit the puzzle in front of us,the sinking feeling in the bottom of the stomach can be incredibly gut wrenching.Be careful.A voice in the wilderness,Jacksonville FL.

Or.... insert any number of bad outcomes here) ... bottom line is that you're left holding the bag and 100% of the liability for the house until they decide to buy it from you.The smart way to handle this is to get them a construction to permanent (A "C-P" loan)  financing loan, sell them the land, and build the house getting paid by the bank in draw intervals. 

The easiest way is to put the trap inside a plastic bag and smack it against something hard very, very forcefully.
