Although My dream is to buy & hold multifamily housing (manage them in-house) my dreams as a fix & flipper are just as high & I figured would help me raise capital faster to invest in future deals.

It would help me scale a lot faster. 

Is it true that the lower cap rate an area is, the faster the rent grows?

Sounds like I'll probably just finance from the start as there really is no benefit to having the cash up front except for the faster closing and perceived strength of the offer.

When attorneys get involved Tenants will often concede as the Tenant loses the ability to make vague legal threats that you or I might feel carries weight as we don't know the laws, as well as an attorney but your counsel, shouldn't bat an eye at anything the Tenant threatens.

Other parts of the country are going to keep going up as long as the Coasts keep going up, a rising tide lifts all boats and CA tides rise faster so you can arbitrage that difference and get better cash flow for sure.Dont look at it as a problem but an opportunity.

The truth of the matter is there’s a ton of uncompensated work that goes in to a syndication and you should be paid.Think about the following:-The amount of time and energy it took to analyze enough deals to finally find a true opportunity -You are qualifying for the loan, providing the risk capital, Liquidity, and a track record-You’ve built essential relationships with Comercial Brokers and property management companies -You’ve negotiated the opportunity at a price that works -You’ve performed the paper and physical due diligence-You’ve built relationships that took time to establish in regards to their other equity partners-The General partners are going to create value and increase the NOI and ultimately the value of the property-You provide a phenomenal alternative investment that has a very unique tax benefits&-You carry all the weight and fiduciary responsibilities I hope this helps you make a strong case and your limited partners walk away with a sense of appreciation verses turned off.Dino

The ROI of a fund is just the weighted average of all of its holdings.You're going to pay for liquidity if that's what you want. 

I hope to contract out a little more on my next one to get done faster.

I think it’s a faster way to throw offers out without wasting anybody’s time.
