You do have to do some research on the syndicator, and make sure you feel comfortable with him/her, go over the offer document, etc, but once you invest with them, you are passive - you don't manage the property, deal with the bank, etc - they do everything for you.

You will need to work with seller and lawyer to draft up a copy of agreement.Think about it as a regular real estate transaction, however upon sale- the owner then becomes your bank.

There will be a new equilibrium of people fleeing high tax jurisdictions once the new governments there reduce taxes.

I'm currently unemployed and obtaining loans from banks has been difficult.  

How did you structure a deal with a bank for 50/50 loan (e.g., 20% down and each give 10%)?

@Russell Brazil There are a lot of nice cars out there that don't break the bank for maintenance and repairs. 

Just banking on paydown/appreciation? 

Also, you will need to close on the HELOC before the investment property, so if you dont already have it, you want to make sure that you disclose that to the bank when looking for a mortgage.

You get the worse terms because banks see it as the biggest risk.
