I will manage the property but having issues marketing on furnished finders without being the property's owner.

A syndication or fund should have plenty of other issue, such SEC filings, accounting standards, actually being able to manage the business, actually running the business...As for credibility, a real estate license doesn't add much, in my opinion. 

My issue, is that from a consumer standpoint the industry perceives to switch from residential to commercial at 4.

I have had issue after issue in my apartment.

In 2016, the city stopped issuing new non-owner occupied STR licenses - known as Type 2 licenses - for short-term rentals in certain residential areas.

Now if you have a health care company paying the credit part is no longer an issue and they do background checks on all employees.

How long you've had the properties and what the biggest issues were?

For example, a sandwich lease carries some of the same risks that any landlord faces, what I call the tenants and toilets issues. 

I maintain two rentals and the pool requires very little attention compared to other issues.

There was an opportunity to help a fellow investor who had his family growing and needed to dispose of the property to get rid of problematic tenant issues, rising taxes, and invest in other opportunities closer to home.
