Your lender will act as a second set of eyes and ensure your homework gets done.

The main issue to make sure is does the property actually produce or is the GP playing catching down the line or at sale.

I am new to investing in AZ and I would love to have another set of eyes look over the deal or a partner to come in with me. 

And perhaps things to keep an eye out for to stay on track :). 

At your eye practice do you sell glasses and then just see minor eye issues or do you do surgery etc.?

There is a convergence of people being willing to live in smaller/alternative living situations (new generation) and the technology to make it happen (smart homes are here but alternative building techniques have been slow to catch on due to outdates building codes- but the technology is there) I think we are going to see some massive shifts in the next 20 years.

While I have been catching up on the talk about syndication on here the overwhelming amount of investor properties are bought by through regular partnerships and friends and family as it has been for years.

I would love to catch up with you the next time that you’re in town.Best of luck on the settlement and feel free to touch base if you need any assistance.Kevin

You might want to verify your rental data with actuals rather than calculators, in case the rent market is already starting to catch up.
