Account ClosedHi Kenny,I actually started podcasting all the experts in syndication and read Sam Freshman's book on syndication.

@Sam Yin is on the right track with the HELOC and I'll add to that the same idea can be done even with a checking & savings account.

@Sam KayWe use Propertyware, have experience with Buildium and have played with Appfolio and RentManager.Buildium is for smaller companies.The other three are tied, the differences being how much automation & customization you want to do.If you don't see yourself growing beyond 150 units, go with Buildium.If you're not very techy and plan to grow over 150 units, we'd recommend Appfolio.If you're techy and plan to grow over 150 units, we'd recommend Propertyware or RentManager.Of course, schedule some demos, take GREAT notes and them make your decision.FYI - there are MANY new options on the market, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Apartments.com, Hemlane, Rentec.

Welcome to Sam, thats a fully loaded questions.

@Sam Gottsegen several times I have purchased flip homes on extra large lots - then split off a building lot and sold it.

Sam,My father and I built a house after purchasing a tear down in Halethorpe about two years ago and had no issues with the area or selling it quickly.

@Sam Shueh We are thinking of just abandoning it. 

@Sam Van Horebeek has excellent points - esp re: mortgage.

Quote from @Sam Clemente: Congrats on your first property!

Oh wow, thanks for sending this Sam!
