I know this is quite the wall of text, but I don't really have any family or friends who are financially knowledgeable and don't really know where I should turn to for advice, so I apologize ahead of time for the novel below.I had been working two jobs, seven days a week, 72+ hours a week for the past six months, and had planned on continuing to do so until I could secure a loan and make the transition into a rehab project on what would be my first property (I decided a while ago that real estate was my answer to early financial freedom).

Backtracking a bit.......it’s not entirely a bad thing for someone transitioning into another job to use this assistance because this is what it’s for, temporary assistance. 4.

Also if i am not mistaken i can also use CalHFA and Zip / CHDAP downpayment assistance programs having my skin in the game very  minimal. please don't bash me too hard or discourage me too much, those of you who go too straight edge and by the books frowning at anything that is not 100% permitted or those of you who have the portfolio and income to turn down and scoff at these "garbage properties. i don't currently have that luxury and i'm will to get in and grind so i can have more free time to make a full career transition into Real estate. 

Had another guy who was in a transitional phase.

Perhaps they're in transition and plan on moving in a few years to permanently settle in another city.Tenants fresh out of college or grad school with a $800 rent budget are a different customer and I'd adjust accordingly.

Found the markets near military bases do not fluctuate as much as other metro areas, and have a higher rental demand due to the transitioning work force.

I tell many investors from California and other states that arent in the Midwest, the key to having a successful transition into buying and holding here or flipping is building a team.

A few questions:How does one transition from newbie multi-family investing to syndication? 

I think there is a transition (grace) period for you to sell and still take advantage of the capital gains exclusion.

We are transitioning to where money is less of a constraint (although it always is to some extent) - and where time is more valuable.
