My goal by end of 2019 is to be entirely out of single family, have 1 or 2 NNN properties valued at $5MM, and to have $1M in equity deployed into passive syndications.Having a payed off asset 30 years from now is not as enticing as the prospect of not having to deal with tenants ;)

Make sure you understand the property and your market well before deploying any capital, and best of luck!

When we got orders to deploy, we walked away from the house we were renting with no worries.

I'm deploying soon and the house and land is too much upkeep for my wife with two little ones as well.

I have a propensity to take the risk if there is a greater reward and I am looking to generate returns for a longer-term time frame of 5 - 7 years.How would I go about making my investment decision to deploy this 30k purely as an investor?

You'll need a lot of cash to funnel in to income property.If you're qualified and have cash to deploy; syndication is likely a good option.

I.E. if the property to purchase is $1m, down payment is $200k, and I have 3 investors putting in $50k each totaling $150k, and I use $50k of my own money, what are some optimal ways to setup the payback of the $150k outside money back to each investor, in the best/quickest way so we can roll into more properties at the fastest rate or deploy the money elsewhere, quicker?

They have excellent credit and their goal is to get about $200k in capital to deploy for other investments.

I'm coming back from deployment soon myself.

The issue is that I'm in aggressive growing mode so I've been deploying most of my capital.
