@David Rohrer To be intimated, to fear, is healthy. 

In the words of Chris Voss, no deal is better than a bad deal or a time consuming situation where you rushed into something.

I'm interested in the area solely because of what Metro Health is doing.

It's time consuming work but you can find properties with $0 mortgages that way.

In exchange, you learn how a deal is analyzed, put together and you learn/get the legal/SEC documentation you need to put a syndicated deal together.1-on-1 coaching is very time consuming and frankly for experienced apartment syndicators like me (I own 1,000 apartment units), the only way I can structure it to make it worth my time is by actually doing deals together.

Months later after the consumer returned from a trip the CL floor was heaving.

For this reason, you want to make sure that you are getting good cash flow on both properties and do not over-leverage.In other words, before you take out that HELOC on the first property, make sure that its still going to give you a healthy positive cash flow once the new loan payments kick in. 

If so, it's consumer focused and I wouldn't go with high expectations.

That will consume a fair amount of cash.

I agree with @Todd Rasmussen, Unless the property will spit off a healthy cash flow not sure why you'd want it sub2 if it's 10k overleveraged.
