I am not an expert on your market but I will give you some advice that should apply well tov most any market:1.

So, make sure YOU understand the copy & paste info below:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Don’t need to know if it applies or not.  

And while I agree that debt is often the cheapest form of capital, if you are looking at a project that involves some form of value-add business plan, you can always refi either when rates come down or you have increased the yield on the asset to exceed your interest rate.But like Stuart noted, for many groups, even the most seasoned syndicators, raising call cash for their deals is effectively impossible.  

In addition, the book keeping and legal involved with a syndication process is greater than if partners are not involved.  

Pricing models vary, but I use a flat-fee approach based on the intensity of design strategy and level of investor involvement.

Optimally you also can get the children of the senior involved so nobody feels their parents were taken advantage of.  

The same applies for STRs.
