Generating equity is often second to that.

Some of these strategies (though not all, and possibly not the most profitable) are the subject of constant discussion on BP.

The truth is if your investors have no involvement in the operations, If they just put in money and expect to get a profit, you have created a de facto syndication.2) I see a ton of people who just raise money for the syndication. 

If your investment is still profitable with the increase, then press ahead.

One fast way to generate cash flow is to invest in high cash flow, low appreciation markets (say several midwest e.g.

The money generated could pay for both loans, and even cash flow.Italian BuraccuracyI thought the United States is slow and has poor processes set, but here is absolutely worse.

The price you pay for being part of the Disney World spoon-feed of guests is that the barrier to entry for profitable STRs (ones that leverage close to or max LTV) is very, very high.  

Lots of areas that pencil very well on paper but the quality of renter you will get is going to eat into any profit you may think you are getting.
