Happy to discuss further on how we could align.

Those types of syndications (such as Cardone) are typically very aggressively underwritten (meaning higher execution risk), have sponsors who don't have full real estate cycle experience (meaning higher sponsor risk), have higher leverage ( meaning higher risk of default or suspended distributions), use floating rate loans ( meaning higher interest rate risk), have short-term debt ( meaning higher refinance risk), use financial engineering (meaning higher risk of missing the pro forma), lack signficant (or any) skin in the game (meaning higher risk of lack of alignment with conservative investors ). etc.And it's 100% true that most of these are struggling now.

How can I get a reliable opinion that aligns with a potential bank appraisal?

I'm not sure how much of that is going on right now, but I'm sure there are always traveling nurses and doctors coming into this area that need short term housing.A lot, of property management companies will only do a minimum of one year leases, but I think there is good value to be had in the short term rental game, as long as you have a good strategy and a management company that is align with your vision.When I was leasing full-time, I used to get a lot of calls from insurance companies who have clients who's properties have been in a fire or some natural disaster and need short term housing, and they're also willing to pay a lot higher than market rent. 

Specifically, I'm interested in exploring options that align with a 25% down payment and Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan.If you're a seasoned broker familiar with Birmingham real estate and have a track record of success with investment properties, I'd love to connect.

If things don't improve, it might be worth considering new partners who are more aligned with your goals and work style. 

It's essential to conduct thorough market research and financial analysis before deciding which strategy aligns best with your investment objectives.

Here are some of my individual goals:- Purchase class B multifamily assets with 25-50 units, and value add opportunity, in key cities in Ohio and Michigan - Create joint ventures to take down initial properties- Start a syndication to purchase additional properties- Create a brand with a thorough online presence Please connect with me if these goals interest you and align with your goals.

Selectively choose deals that align with your investment box for your own portfolio.
