From everything I have read/listened to on raising funds for syndication, a pre-established relationship seems to be the most important component to getting one to invest.

@Josh Kristoff We know we get a lot of families in our 1/1, and in some cases 6 people (we make sure to explicitly let them know in a pre-registration follow-up communication that one of the beds is a sofa and almost everyone is good with this).We are also checking with other owners in the area on what they are seeing since this is our first 2/2 at the beach.

You can also get a pre-closing inspection if you want, but I have a construction background and usually feel pretty confident looking the finishes over during the one week out walk-thru.

Most hard money lenders do not have a pre-payment penalty for paying off early on a short-term loan (typically 12 months or less).

I live in a ski town and many people provide management services for second home owners.

Other than that we live in an RV, travel the country visiting family and friends, fly fishing, skiing, and just generally enjoying all this amazing country has to offer.
