Syndications don't get funded because investors think they are toxic. 

Large deposits are nice, but very difficult to actually get access to escrow funds in the event of default.

And people think Ai is going to replace accountants.one can argue that apartments.com is just a processing the payment and not actually holding the funds to transfer out.If apartments.com all of a sudden reverses the payment for insufficient funds?

Public has little desire to see them cut and GOP has no desire to increase funding for this. 

I financed this property using down payment funds from 403B and a local commercial bank.

By any chance, do you know if you're eligible for any government grants and/or funding?

If you’re interested in investing in real estate, you can consider doing so with a Self-Directed IRA to defer taxes on capital gains until you actually withdraw the funds from your IRA.

@Holly Thorsen see above for potential challenges tapping your equity in the rental.You only need 5% down for a regular mortgage, 3% down for an FHA mortgage - so why don't you have the funds?

My plan was to keep the condo as my residence, but after a year, refinance to fund a down payment on a multi-family property, either out of state or in the surrounding NY area.

It seems a traditional sale gobbles up half of it in closing costs.We refinanced early last year, and another refi would cost ~$5k, plus w/ the LTV, I don't think the numbers work out just right.Too bad we were too naive to even consider those offers when they were handed to us.
