@Chrissy Smyth, just a couple comments:1.

The calculator finds that the annualized interest rate, or if you prefer return on investment, is 9.43%I hope this clarifies.  

There are lots of hard money options (or maybe not "lots" but not too uncommon) with no appraisal required - that makes the offer equivalent to cash (closing within a couple days and no appraisal contingency - its out there)The lender still has to ok the deal, appraisal or not.

It’s structured as a syndication, 60/40 LP/GP split with a 7% preferred return.

To achieve this, I’m planning to scale rapidly by performing a couple of syndications to acquire a larger portfolio.I currently have a portfolio of 17 properties, but to justify labor costs and create a sustainable structure, I need to expand quickly.

Hi, I'm looking into potentially putting a couple of rental properties into an LLC, more from a liability standpoint than anything else.

Couple this with the fact that values are appreciating (even in the interior neighborhoods) and it becomes a great opportunity all the way around.  

I’m looking to connect with:Partners who can bring resources or experience to the table while I handle the heavy lifting of deal-finding, analysis, and management.Investors interested in deals with clear strategies and long-term potential.While I’d prefer to build a portfolio for the long haul, I understand the market always has buyers.

I'm a Realtor with a couple properties listed in Boise, ID and a neighboring town for my investor/client that are currently rented as co-living or rent-by-the-room and getting killer income. (7.3% - 9.5% Cap rate) So far, every inquiry has been baffled by the concept of co-living or rent-by-the-room and immediately ask if they're being run as a halfway-house (which they are not).

Disclosure: StudentHello, I went to the first intro a couple of years ago and it has been an amazing experience.
