Hello all,I'm trying to acquire/confirm some accurate information regarding private real estate syndications.

  (5 homes will total $1.8M, so my 20% would be $360k, and while doable I'd rather keep that capital for rehab, reserves, and other properties vs down payment)How have some of you financed the other 70% in a deal like this?   

Paint the floor with an oil-based primer, then put new flooring in after you've confirmed the odor is gone.I've seen some pretty bad houses where cats were spraying against the wall.

No points.All based on your FICO, cash flows, and reserves, of course :-)Cheers!

We've usually had real estate agents inform them, but the one we're working with is requesting for us to do so.Written notice with verbal confirmation, if possible.Dear Tenant,I wanted to inform you that we will be selling 123 Straight Street.

You don't want to be caught in a bind with no reserves. 

If they sell it for $50k less than they paid for it, they will have to take a write down [this isn't technically true because of loss reserves, but lets ignore that] and write downs are bad.

You may also want to account for some expense for reserves (3-5%) as most folks start saving some so when the roof, boiler/heater goes and you need to replace it there are funds to help pay for it.

In our experience, the #1 mistake landlords make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.
