For example, now, with interest rates as low as they are it might not be a good choice because when you go to refinance at the end of the initial period you might have a hard time finding as low of a rate as you could today, and thus you would've been better off obtaining a fixed-rate mortgage at today's rates.So, I feel like I don't hear about this type of structuring a lot, and I'm wondering if I'm missing some things that I would only know if I had experience doing it (i.e. how hard it is to refi out of the ARM, or realistic rates during the initial period), or that I'm just not hearing about it now because it's not as appealing giving interest rates today.

@Jack Orthman It makes perfect sense to ground a metal box.

It's one thing to not expect perfection, but another thing altogether to allow and expect it to happen. 

I agree, joining as an LP from a syndication group would be a great start but remember to find the best relationship for you and not just the perfect project or property.

Don't wait forever, there is never a perfect time, and the sooner you start, the sooner you come closer to reaching your financial goals. 

If they still are silent then you have no other choice but to go with eviction.

Just trying to make sure I understand correctly the benefit and tax consequences of multi-family syndication investments.Let's say you invest in a hypothetical syndication deal as a LP, ~20% IRR (2.5x multiple), 7% Preferred Return, Cash flowing from year 1, and exit in 5 years.and let's assume the sponsor executes perfectly to the plan. and you invest $100k in the deal.

While Indianapolis and Cleveland are solid choices, maybe consider some other markets such as Houston, San Antonio, etc.Would love to connect!

Investing in this home is a perfect marriage of two things my partner and I are passionate about - helping people and building wealth!

We would have occupied the other and been perfectly capable of making the mortgage if it were to sit vacant.
