That being said, my advice is to get into an investment vehicle, a piece of real estate, sooner than later.  

I do put aside a little from each property every month in a savings account towards the purchase of my next vehicle, a truck for the business, which is on a 3 year time frame as well.

Syndications are a pretty broad investment vehicle.  

Another book I strongly recommend to get and keep in your vehicle, briefcase and or desk is Estimating rehab costs by J.Scott

Obviously, I am a bit biased, but I have never seen any other investment vehicle that provides such high returns relative the amount of risk you are taking and the low money you can put down. 

@Nicholas Blaylock Assuming you are asking what type of vehicle to hold your money in that will allow it to grow with minimal risk, with a time horizon of 6-8 months you would be best to just keep it in cash. 

That seems to need either creative HML (not all of them have a product that will put your down payment into a vehicle it can come back to you), or using an entity such as mentioned in this thread (which is a new trick I hadn't seen).Still, understanding what the hard-written Fannie Mae rules are that allow rate and term faster than cash out would be good for my learning so I know why #3 works.

In Indiana you'll want to reach out to the local county treasurer's office and local bureau of motor vehicles for more info and help transferring titles. 

The DST is a hybrid investment vehicle that is sold as a security through a registered representative, but is treated as a purchase of real estate for tax purposes and qualifies for 1031 Exchange treatment.  

@Tom StromarWe are open to SFD/MFD/apartments and any other vehicles that can have a good cash flow after management fee/factoring reserves and vacancy rates.
