You can probably pay for a course when one of the sucker roadshows comes thru town, but it is a ton of money. 

The biggest question you need to ask yourself is if you are doing this to afford a property you otherwise couldn’t afford or to save money period, that will lead to very different conclusions about where/if to buy. 

If I could re-frame, and put myself in your shoes, I would look for a money partner to help secure rehab properties. 

Hey @Erika Andersen I totally hear you in wanting to save some money and taking on the task yourself.

The truth is if your investors have no involvement in the operations, If they just put in money and expect to get a profit, you have created a de facto syndication.2) I see a ton of people who just raise money for the syndication. 

If you are a partial owner of this land, I would not invest much or any money into it.

When I did my research for buying my properties in Costa Rica, I had one of the big STR management companies like Evolve analyze my potential profits and I used that info to raise money through bringing on partners to buy the properties. 

Hard Money How did you add value to the deal?

I would suggest getting Dave Ramsey's book called The Total Money Makeover and read that.

But by coming together with others, one can get in the game and put their money to work in these bigger, potentially greater return deals without having to do it solo.
