That's a good thing, that's who you want to be, and these are tools for your back pocket when those inquiries come in... ...But don't run around promoting mixed use 5-plex new construction, for seasonally employed veterans, that happen to own a vacant lot of properly zoned build-able land, as the new great amazing thing in town.

I understand that it has:- strong, diverse economy- midwest cap rates- big universityTonight I'm looking at the MF properties currently listed on LoopNet.

Sergio,Congrats on getting it going with what I assume must be a nice deal.Since I've never heard of those type of lists I probably am not the best one to provide advise.What I do know from experience is that depending on the type of syndication it might be illegal to advertise or promote an investment to someone you don't have a previous relationship with and it's within your network.Under Rule 506(B)  you are not allowed to do general solicitation for your offering even if it is to accredited investors.

Although I definitley don't miss the brutal winters, there is something to be said about a city with so much culture and diversity.

If you're looking for appreciation, the two strongest influences on demand (and appreciation) are population and job growth, so monitor those.If you're looking at which markets are volatile, that is impacted by many variables... population growth, job growth, job/industry diversity, local politics/regulation, development etc...Example: San Antonio's economy and job market is really driven mostly by health care and aerospace. 

I had looked into and researched Cincinnati and Pittsburgh both seem like interesting markets .Pittsburgh has a pretty diverse economy and many have been moving back into the city from the suburbs .

For my next property however, I do plan to self promote/book because I want to be able to really see both sides of the fence. 

Syndication is usually for soliciting under SEC rules and requires legal fees of $12,000 to $15,000 and then all of the promotion expenses etc.

Maybe get a promotion, live below your means, and save a little.
