Nobody as a sponsor wants to work their tail off creating equity on a deal for the investors to take it all.For me I make a lot of income transacting commercial real estate deals so doing a syndicate has to give me at least the same or greater return for time allocated.

I have my primary residence mortgage and the rental property mortgage both through a commercial bank in Canada(RBC).

Real estate agents and brokers tend to good people to get close to as they will have the most access to deals and will also have connections to contractors, lenders, etc..

I'm a first time homebuyer and have access to a VA loan, should I speak with my bank right away to see what funding I can afford?

Then just repeat this process until I have enough money to put down on a commercial real estate property to start acquiring equity. 

I have been in the banking industry, mainly commercial lending, for the last 15 years.  

The deal, prior to inspections, is very solid on paper, in my own opinion (I am from there) and the opinion of a friend who is a top commercial agent in the area.Details:$750,000 PPSeller financing 5.5% (Interest Only for 10 years, total note 30)30% Down **Current NOI is 52kWe could get the NOI to 60k right away with a $50 per unit rent raise as they are underpriced quite a bit at the moment.

I have assisted in the purchase and sale of businesses, commercial deals, and performing/non-performing notes.  

And this is all assuming you're talking about residential MFRs versus commercial MFRs.

My goal in the next year is to move from single families to the multi-family space, and then quickly to the commercial apartment space.If you're willing to chat, meetup for a drink, or let me know about other meetups in the area (San Francisco/East Bay), then hopefully we can meet and exchange information, build partnerships/friendships, and build towards our financial freedom.Cheers.
