The pros to investing in turnkey vs a private equity syndication is YOU get to completely own the property 100% you get all the tax write offs, principal reduction, appreciation, cash flow, none of that is split with the syndicators.

I can also continue making the payments and just carry the weight of the extra debt load I have with two homes right now.

Dave: Even if you were flipping in your own name, the margin would be taxed as income at your marginal tax rate and not as capital gain ... unless you were sitting on the property for >1+years each.As a flipper your company would be an operating company {i.e. eligible for the small business tax rate reduction} as opposed to a "passive income" holding company {taxed at the full corporate tax rate}.

Simplifying the process with the city would likely lead to some cost reductions too.
