That being said, it's time to sell and focus my efforts on the more scalable private syndications.

ELS has reported quarter-over-quarter NOI growth for 20 consecutive years, including throughout the Great Recession.Blackstone is one of the largest, most sophisticated real estate and private equity investors in the nation.

Private money is the ticket to scaling upward fast.

More sophisticated techniques such as syndications and private money are beyond the scope of most mom and pop investors, though some do use partnerships. 

For me, I probably looked at a couple dozen on paper, toured about ten, analyzed six or eight and made offers on two.  

If you want to talk shop I could give you a tour of my latest project.

Should I go private lending?

Buyers do it that way and then transfer title to an LLC, they just hope the lender never notices.I suppose there's the BOM/private lending path, or seller financing. 

For me its wine tours apple picking and people wanting to leave a major metropolitan area for a weekend away.

I have a private money loan w/ a 1 year note for the whole 125k.
