Would you rather invest in duplex in CA that breaks even or invest in RE syndication for 2 years that offers you expected 18% annually Example: Duplex in CA costs around $600k, down payment $120k, rent = mortgage payment+real estate tax + insurance (if interest drops by 1%, then expected cash flow could be $200-$300 per month) RE syndication is offering 18%, in 2 years, I can expect to make $43,200 without lifting a finger..The numbers are favoring more towards RE syndication, in the past I have only done rentals never invested in RE syndication.

My wife keeps telling me about a $0 down payment loan option that she’s been hearing about where if you can show that the rent will be greater than the mortgage, this type of loan will require $0 down or lower than the 20/25% requirement. 

I know the big thing would be to factor that full heloc payment into your carrying costs equation. 

She wants me to get the home and land but want to give the money she would receive from my down payment ($80k) and monthly payments to her estranged son’s children.
