@Samantha McCormick welcome to BP and thank you for your service!

With 200k down the debt servicing would be $3,877 monthly.List price is 800k.  

This helps me raise my rates and makes guests happy.

Your name, license number,brokerage (if any) and license status is publicly available.The NAR,State Board,and local boards have agreements with suppliers to give your contact information away to them so they can advertise their services to you.Be prepared for an avalanche of emails and snail mail in the next few weeks.

Raising funds through a syndication takes significant credibility which is difficult to do if you cannot raise the equity.  

Save half the commission when you sell by using Realmart or a similar online MLS listing service, for a flat fee of a few hundred dollars they put you on the MLS and then realtors will bring buyers to you without you having to pay a listing agent of your own.

the DFW market is my home, born & raised there.

Invest all of the $25k loan into ETFs (spread out to achieve some dollar-cost-averaging) and continue to invest 50% of my income (minus the debt servicing cost).

Did you encounter any opposition or criticism of their services from an attorney or accountant?

A change of title holder could certainly raise questions in an audit.
