I hire a broker for tenant placement one time.. 

I'm also interested in learning about private placement notes and bonds - and learning more about the topic "Syndication."

He also owns 3 rental properties himself.He shared with me that last year, both he and his partner took home approximately $60K each (after all expenses, before taxes).Their revenue comes largely from the 10% of gross rents that they charge per month, per property, and from the 50% placement fees (they take half of the first month's rent revenue whenever they place a tenant).

Image if I had 30, just 3 x those numbers.Directly investing in a turnkey rental or small MFH is a good way to start to learn and build up the war chest to go into my scaleable investments such as private placement syndications. 

If you wish to wholesale, add Y for your fee. 3rd party buyer pays X + Y.Once you become more experienced and skillful, you may encounter situations where a seller wants to net a certain figure and then your skill at determining their precise equity will become more important.

It should be very precise, like how much cash flow do you want to create in what timeframe.

Beyond the Monthly Management, Placement & Maintenance fees, all other fees in our contract are IF EVENT -> THEN fees.

And that is precisely how they sell you on the next step. 

From Ali BooneI always say that no one should invest outside their comfort level.The biggest issue I see with turnkeys is precisely this.
