In speaking with my banker and CPA, it confirms what everyone is saying.....No one will want to use my "stake" in the property as collateral, because of its illiquidity etc....I know that the CoC returns annually of a syndication deal aren't as good as one COULD get actively trading the markets.But the IRR can be closer to 16-18% when factoring in the refinancing and selling chunks of return.And this being completely PASSIVE really appeals to me.I am working on the markets etc.....my game plan is basically work the markets/crypto world and as I get gains, take 1/3 to pay off my business/building debts, 1/3 to build into these syndication deals, and 1/3 to keep rolling the active investing snowball.Wish there was a way to leverage....so sad.Thanks all!

I'm relocating to McLean Virginia, and I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to begin building my real estate portfolio. interested in investing in the McLean or Arlington, Virginia areas.

This is a perfect BRRRR strategy as I was able to get an extremely reduced price and there is a LARGE value add opportunity with adding an ADU and upgrading the original structure.

The house is perfect.

Which is 61% of the value of my properties Perfect.

Tampa, the main seat of Hillsborough county, has seen a cool off just like the rest of the country and getting a 4 unit in that price range is attainable.As you mentioned, you first want to buy a place to live in; this could be the perfect setup: live in 1 and rent the other 3 out to cover your mortgage and maybe even have positive cash flow.

Perfect to BRRRR and get all in for low/no money in the property. 

I'm amazed how easy it is to keep clean and perfect, especially when we stay at other places and the tubs are dirty or smell like mold.

With perfect credit, 6 figure cash reserves, and a 6 figure self employed income that wasn't affected by Covid, we were just denied refinancing on our investment properties. 

You can time the real estate market (not perfectly) but reasonably.
