But this is a little different that a new purchase.My experience is that every lender will pull their own comps and have their own appraisal.

But since is this is my first experience and his 2nd experience better off learning more but making any assumptions. 

In Northeast Florida my experience has been that it is slower in January/February as far as showing traffic/potential tenants. 

From my clients experience here is a list of "Buyer Beware" red flags with hiring anyone...- If they do not have About us on their website - In the about us page there is no name- When you Google their name there is no reference to them ever doing the services you are looking for- So I have mentioned this millions of time - you get what you pay for.

If you've dealt with them, can you please post your experiences with them? 

At this stage, I hope to have enough experience, and the network to be able to accurately estimate total expenses, allowing me to move towards bigger projects with bigger potential gains.Any advice on ways I can move forward with my goals?

Is this the experience of other investors as well?

I think it would help everyone curious about syndications if we shared how syndication investing has really been like for those with experience. 

Does anybody have experience in Crystal River, Florida?

Be happy to chat and share my personal experiences if you'd like.
