To me, this would signify a larger rate cut to encourage more spending and economic growth.

so I can spend more time with my wife and newborn along with travel, challenging myself, and become the largest investor in my area.

@Natalie Johnstone I would look in areas you have some knowledge of, that you possibly have connections in or at the very least are landlord friendly and experiencing strong economic growth!

One of the largest growing buyer pool demographics is unrelated/unmarried "couples" (that are not dating).

In Raleigh, I have my investors focus near RTP as that is our economical hub and where the appreciation historically is highest (and easiest to rent).

Lake Pueblo is the largest attraction in the immediate area. 

It's not a mind-boggling salary, but it's enough, and the economical decision would be to move into a LCOL area and thrive.

Hi @Guy Idan, like others in this tread said, is important that you "vet" the Syndicator (aka sponsor) - every component of the syndication is important (the property location and the local economic drivers, property class, the loan type, property management company, the sponsor, etc.) but I would say this is more as a bet on the jockey than on the horse.

It's on the Southwest side of the metro area & is experiencing A TON of economic growth!
