You can find syndication deals for non-accredited investors but your options are a lot greater if you are accredited.Once you answer some of those questions, then you can start thinking about what syndication niches are solid long term opportunities based on current trends, find experienced syndicators that focus on those niches, vet them and their deals would come with some more effort but there are short cuts.  

Check recent cash sales in your area and if you see a trend (several purchases in the last 12 months or an entity, not individual, purchasing,) contact them and ask them if they are interested in buying more properties.As far as contracts, keep them simple.

I was just wondering if you and John could maybe talk a little bit about street rate growth and maybe how that street rate growth is trended in some of the markets that have had more supply like New York and some of the major Texas markets like Houston, Dallas and Austin?  

I was thinking best case scenario, catch up the note, pay half of what they want 5k instead of 10k, the rent comps actually leave you breaking even with a property manager, and if the trend of increasing value continues, arv in two years would be 250-255, and we would get it at 206, minus the another 24 months of payments, maybe the note is at 185k.  

I am looking to see the trends in DOM, List to Sale % change, cap rates, etc.

Also the land in question, which I have not purchased yet has this in the listing "All offers must be accompanied with the addendum provided in Trend."  

Your agent can also tell you what is going on in the market and help you know market time, average selling price, and what the trend is.

I can't speak for NYC but in Philadelphia area we use TREND MLS and unlicensed assistants can have MLS access for a yearly fee.

Don't know how far into the deal you are, but also verify (if you haven't done so already) the vacancy of the entire complex and HOA fee trend.

@Matthew Hudson did you check the market trend?
