If they give very little information or the new capital will only add a year or two to the viability of the deal, then I am likely not going to give them more money.The changing or stopping of distributions and calling capital are very stressful and concerning events when you combine it with a lack of information and transparency from the syndicator. 

So I'm looking for the combination of affordable properties (cheap could be misinterpreted) and (mass) tourism.

But Memphis’ combination of affordability and rental demand might make it a promising option to explore as you continue to build your real estate portfolio.Best of luck with your current investments and your ongoing learning process!

You need to do an inspection to itemize his security deposit, and the less crap there the easier to see the true condition. 

@Matthew Paul and @JD Martin and @Scott Mac combined - Let the bleach/dawn mixture sit, then pressure wash it, then seal it!

So long as you are a Trustee/Beneficiary of that Trust, you are still on title, so if they try to give you crap about it, it is very easy to prove that.A better way would be to get a non-recourse loan, then QCD to the trust, but the pricing for non-recourse has yet to recover from what I've seen in the lending market so far.I don't have any experience or insight into a JRT... or what the advantage would be over an entity when doing JV...Cheers!

The city's resurgence can be attributed to a combination of tapering construction on new units and a steady increase in demand, pushing rent growth above its pre-pandemic average of 3%.Similarly, San Francisco experienced a dramatic turnaround in July, with apartment rents jumping from 1% in June to 2% at the end of the month.

@Leah MillerTypically no - condo bylaws and zoning regulations typically do not allow to segment a units potential exists to possibly combine units (which can be cost prohibitive as you need board approval and potential building code issues) but I have never seen a condo building allow someone to subdivide a unit

I've been able to get a healthy combination of both cashflow and appreciation from all my properties after a little TLC.

The property is still purchased by you, but the LLC is the lender.Now if you are using a combination of things this same strategy/concept can still be used but you'll need to file a 2nd lien for your 2nd source of money.
