In this time span I am doing flips and saving from my current professional career.In this 1-2 year timeline we would we would meet on a consistent basis and develop a solid plan of action to acquire these syndication deals.At this point I would like to connect with people and see if our interests align and if we could work well together.I currently have interest from several people that have either an extensive finance background or have many properties in their portfolio already.I currently have no deals in my portfolio but what I bring to the table is experience in building websites, marketing (specifically search engine optimization), good financial understanding, and a great ambition to succeed in real estate.If this is something that interests you please message me for more information or to ask any questions. 

Too much unfriendly javascript or something or this site is 'optimized' for the latest devices 

We also charge 20% of gross but I like to be on the lesser side so that the owner makes more and we also strive to get the highest nightly rate that we can for our owners and optimize their properties for max ROI so 20% is sufficient for us at this point.

I could probably setup and optimize lead generation funnels for acquiring various RE leads (eg. foreclosure leads) worldwide.

I am just too busy to play the games anymore.I optimize cash back.

Any suggestions on how to optimize investing through SDIRA?

Having a plan to do things like this help optimize your opportunities and give you confidence in your decision.One thing to consider is your cash-on-cash return.

(Obviously it's not optimal...)Is it a good plan to go to school for business management and Real Estate?

There are plenty of tips and tricks out there but in the end for STR's it all comes down to creating a valuable experience for your guests....all success flows directly from that but you can certainly increase your bottom line by optimizing processes and reducing costs when possible.  

Granted this is a deferred tax strategy vs an optimization strategy, but the end effect is pretty similar if you plan to expand your rental portfolio in the future and pass on to later generations.
