@Antonio Maria Farinha - I started out with a condo, but I soon realized that scaling is dependent upon how quickly you can come up with funds for down payments and equity.

That said, depending on the carrier, the pricing might be different with you as the insured vs. your partner if the carrier uses insurance scoring.

Personally I would look at doing a cash out refinance to buy more property instead of selling, but a lot depends on your specific situation.

It all depends on the state.

You're going to win way more often than not if you stick to real estate for the long haul.

These properties require more capital up front, but can really help your overall real estate portfolio.

@Anthony PriloIt sounds like you are trying to transfer a personal property into an LLC since you are now making it into a rental property.When I did this, the real goal was to transfer ownership to the LLC but maintain the current (low-interest) loan.

There are some whacko judges but the odds you get he is real small.  

Retail real estate continues to be a valuable asset amid limited availability and high demand.

As someone with no experience investing into a syndication, is this normal, a red flag, or possibly ok depending on other variables?
