@Jacob Sherman I’m typically raising $100K - $400K for the purchase and repairs of a SFH or smaller MFP flip (short-term).A syndication seems like overkill, and some investors don’t want to deal with a K-1 because it’s not worth the extra accounting expenses for a short-term deal.

Quote from @Chris K.: @Diego A.When people say "syndication" in context of real estate, they really mean filing the necessary paperwork with the SEC to sell securities.

Quote from @Malik K.: I recommend you put down enough to ensure the investment cash flows.

In Gary Keller’s book, Shift, he lists 25 creative options that are most common, but barely scratch the surface:- Seller Contributions- Seller-Funded Permanent Buydown- Seller-Funded Temporary Buydown- Owner Financing- Contract For Deed- Seller Second Lease Option And Lease Purchase- Seller-Assisted Down Payment- Wraparound And Assumable Mortgage- Gift Funding- Selling And Refinancing Existing Assets- Non-Occupied Co-Borrowers- Using 401(K)- Temporary IRA Transfer- Pledged Asset Mortgage- Equity Transfer And Bridge Loan- Employer-Assisted Mortgage- Lender-Funded Buydown- Fannie Mae’s “My Community Mortgage”- Running Scenarios With Automated Underwriting Systems- Adjusting Amortization Period To Lower Payment- Adjusting Interest Rates To Cover Closing Costs- State, Province, And Local Grant Or Bond Programs- Mortgage Credit Certificate- Private LendingHe said these options barely scratch the surface.

Quote from @Alex K.: The key is in the location of your purchase.

Thus, $2500 x 25% =$625 + $2500 = $3,125.00  Let’s say you book out 25 k days in a month at $310 per night
