I'm definitely going to connect with you to hear more about your experience! 

This is a great way to build experience and get some quality rental properties under you while keeping your liquidity up to go find additional properties.

If so, any one have experience doing so in a way that does not accumulate a lot of transfer fees?

From my perspective, it seems like stretching the budget is almost a necessity to afford a property big enough to house hack in Denver—even with a good job.Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences!

I'm not a lawyer or anything and don't have any experience with the ones I've wrote in the past in court. 

Since I am rehabbing, I am not at that stage yet, but since you have 8 you probably have a lot of experience with Decatur tenants. 

My recommendation is to partner with th someone who has a lot more experience before jumping into a syndication after owning one property for less than a year.

@Robert Brock, I guess my advice is not really any different than I would say to someone wanting to be a residential wholesaler: you need to add value to the transaction.Often times, having the deal tied up is the value, but more often then not, in my limited experience with commercial wholesalers and residential, the wholesaler has no idea what someone will actually pay, so they tie up a deal at too high a price and then add their fee that turns a bad investment into a horrible investment. 

Quote from @Mike Klarman: For a guaranteed 10% down program you'll need good credit and 3+ experience but then with closing costs it will be more like 15% and then holding costs and such.
