What market are you in?

.- I work anywhere from 50-60 hours a week (I work in video production).- I would have roughly 35-40 hours a week available to dedicate to progressing my real estate journey.For me, the big appeal of being an investor in syndication deals is that it is not as time intensive as other real estate ventures, so I can focus more time into progressing my career in video production and growing my income there.

If there is any way you can avoid marketing to section 8 you will be far better off especially in regards to the quality of tenant you will get. 

@Dave Rav - I agree with the others that there is no really good way to estimate insurance costs, but I've found some consistency within a particular market/zip code if the rebuild costs and deductibles are the same.

I'm thinking about ramping up my marketing and having agents send me deals with their criteria.

If not, and if these are homes that are in a market where dispositions are not too daunting you are likely best served selling these homes and re-investing in properties that can lead to additional equity.  

I have searched online and found no company or market for this type of transaction.

That is a very general question and each area has its own market conditions so what works well in one area may not in another.

Sat on market for 4 months before they dropped to $125k.

Do you have an out if the market downturns and you can't refi as expected or for as much?
