I feel like there's a lot of money I'm leaving on the table.

The house is also furnished with a solid wood no spring couch, and a solid wood round dining table, and a king sized bedroom set in the master.

People follow those who have unique takes and are original.

The key rules are as follows:1) Syndicator MUST have significant skin in the game, including 10% of the money raised in the first deal, 8% of the second, and 3% of the third2) The only fees allowed are 5% of revenue for property / asset management, which is enough to put food on the table, but not incentivize people to just buy, buy, buy3) The only compensation is 20% of the profit (less on the first 2 deals)4) Rapid acquisition is not allowed. 5% Is minus all operating cost correct ? 

In my experience, finding deals with strong potential for cash flow, often means digging deeper into off-market opportunities or unique property types that traditional models overlook.

.- My Resources / Constraints: I'm in a by no means unique, but perhaps less common situation for those getting started; I'm a somewhat senior software engineer at a tech megacorp and should be able to save a couple of down payments per year for lower priced houses (100-200 in my area), or perhaps one medium priced house (300-500).

So as an example, if the hose sells for 90% of market value then it is doubtful you will get an added 20% on the table with your discount.

These properties will age about as well as that green banana sitting on your breakfast table, and the resale in ten years will be atrocious, because the homes will be out of style.4. 

Congrats on being a unique offering for the area. 

Maybe my experience is unique- maybe not.
