Usually you can add additional support and fix this problem but I did run into one house where there was a single center support running through the middle of the house that was entirely rotted and the only way to get a new support of the appropriate length in would have been to take out a portion of the basement and first floor walls.

Check with them if they're using operating partner and/or integrated partner, sometimes stupid issue like property manager can destroy potential investment as well.If you can read company balance sheet or 10K/10Q report, then you may dig dive easily into reading T12.Every Joe during good year can deliver 12% IRR ; but I told you, if you buy duplex on the same year with them, due to long term financing and hgher appreciation of residential asset, you could make 20% IRR above.If you really want syndication, find syndication in industrial space with good sponsor, the volatility in this space is much lower than MF and usually the sponsor is very experienced as well. you can start educating yourself from Aleksey LP education that I shared before, there're few sections there that maybe coming from my idea as well.

Ideally once you move out you should be getting some cash flow but you usually need to raise rents by doing some sort of rehab. 

I will say as someone who has done syndications,  usually the operating agreement is clear that the managing member of the fund (manager) may get paid a percentage of profits or even a management fee or both.Assuming the syndication was setup as a LLC, then everyone involved would receive a K-1, both investors and the managing member. 

I don’t think you’ll get an extra $50/mo with the new floors.

If the comparable property was sold 2 months ago then how much extra will he put?

However, not all financial institutions/401k plans offer this, it is usually about 50% of the total asset value, and there may be a fee.

Also the pay is usually pretty competitive especially considering how little work you actually have to do.

The big thing your friend probably wants is that it is your contact information that prospective tenants see when they reach out.A general tip beyond the usual blackout curtains, nice bed and safe area, would be that we've seen that most of our bookings come within days of a lease expiring. 

Usually after every guest (turnover) there is cleaning and maintenance to be done.
