I am weighing the option of starting my real estate investment strategy in a RE Syndicate OR in 2-5 unit rental units.

Check out profit first and profit first for real estate investors for more info on those accounts.Send me a dm if you or anyone else has a question.

you can form a little mastermind of folks doing the same thing and support each other.it just doesn't make sense for folks with no experience to partner.good luck

You can find great 2-4 unit buildings at reasonable prices (compared to New York City), and many of them need to be fixed up, which is an added bonus of equity if you are willing to tackle a renovation.I'd suggest somewhere along the blue line (train) in the northwest part of the city, where you can find some priceless neighborhood vibes.Plus, the real estate community is unmatchable...tons of people willing to give you a hand up.

Any San Antonio folks able to share insights on what may be going on? 

Having a system tailored to real estate investing and doing everything I would want a bookkeeping system to do has made the financial information I have much more accurate and timely.

There's a real attachment to furniture pieces.

Do you have any other real estate you can borrow against?

As with any Real Estate purchase, you need to read the documents carefully.

These reasons are pushed to "the regular people" real world wealthy people I've see don't worry about it.
