For example, my partner and I have over $3 million of our own money invested in our syndicated deals.Further, a syndicator of real properties needs to layout money prior to attempting his initial syndication.

24 years old- 1.3 million- I wish I had that flexibility.

My job has taken a million times more time from my family than RE ever will. 

So in the above example, you have a million dollar property, where you have $250,000 in invested equity and a $750,000 loanNOTE: this doesn't mean that you own 25% of the property, or that since you have a mortgage, the "bank" or "lender" owns the property.

.- Population north of half a million (or if smaller cities roll them all up into one target "market")- Prices at or below median value for the area- Equity north of 35-40% (anything less and there isn't really enough room to sell at a discount)There are a zillion ways to win in this game, it's just a question of what works for you. 

The topic was how to make a million in RE in about 8 years. 

This month, I'll take approx a half million to buy properies.

A similar house in my neighborhood with both an ADU and a JADU sold for          $1.15 million, after only being listed for a few days.
