I am looking for any guidance with a new venture I’d like to do which is group homes.

My plan is to set up a syndication fund with Canadian (and U.S) investors to purchase short-term rental properties in the Puerto Vallarta and Rivera Nayarit area (which is booming).

Send me a PM and I'll send you a couple of examples of what is on the market outside of Atlanta so you can run your numbers and see if that fits.

Oh man, I'm so sorry you have had such a bumpy ride.

If you find a good manager, they will help you narrow in on the best communities to invest in, which properties make the best investment, rent rates, locating quality contractors, and more.

You can find both and you can reduce the commission but you may need to do more work.More specific on your questions about price, that is also negotiable.

The term curb appeal is simply referring to the home's exterior being appealing, which doesn't have anything to do with plants or pots or items directly.

The only place this would appear to make sense is in Class D neighborhoods which could cash flow.You have rights to income but nothing else - sounds like an unsecured note at the end of the day.Chris you make good points.  

One thing to be aware of is the FHA multifamily self-sufficiency calculation which determines if a property can generate enough rental income to cover its mortgage payments.

Thank you.
