I have been studying and trading Forex, Stocks (stocks not so much) and Crypto currencies (just recently started Nov. 2017) part time since I was 18 years old so have a clear understanding of value and how it fluctuates based on a number of variables, and think i have an amazing leverage over the average noob.

I would love to hear what goals people are setting for 2014.Personally, I am going to--hire an assistant to help with my wholesaling and tenant placement business-do a 1031 exchange with a property that a biz partner and I acquired this year through a wholesale deal-streamline more of my rental business so that it requires less of me!

Then once I have my team in place and my system more streamlined that's when I'll start utilizing lenders and leverage so I can begin to scale.

Also, on a FHA streamline refi, is an appraisal now required?

@Sean WalcottSyndication is just a fancy term to represent the pooling of money together to make some type of investment.The investment will depend on the prospectus and the investment strategy of the sponsor.A syndication can invest in Stocks, Pre-IPO companies, crypto or real estate.Since you are on a real estate site, I assume a real estate syndication.A real estate syndication can be very broad as there are many strategies - SFH, Multi, Land, Commercial, Storage, etc.Speak to your CPA how an investment in a syndication will impact your taxes.Normally, you will be a limited partner / non-managing member in a syndication which limits your capability of utilizing losses to offset your W-2 income since you won't have active participation.

I have been looking at Tardus and attending some of the webinars, and reading reviews and what I am struggling with is no one addresses the risk side...Prosper, paperstac, crypto, etc. all have risk...as does any investment.

They are set up as a virtual lender, their thought was to streamline the borrowing process, but the loans rarely work out that way. 

Quote from @Dave Skow: @Francisco Lopez- thanks for the post and best of luck with the  move ...tough question to answer without more information ....in general - having a  solid  nest  egg  of cash in hand  to live on is  incredibly important  when moving and  re establishing ...so I woud recommend  considering selling ( even though at a slightly lower  price than  you woudve  got  6-9 monhs ago )  ...and  then move on wiht your plans  in the PNW  with cash in the bank and a much more  streamlined life that you can  focus on .   

Same as crypto bros.
