Can't beat the food regardless. :-)

So if you're kind of on the fence for this idea and could be nudged either way, that's food for thought. :)

Hi David, thank you for this it is an interesting read and there is lots of good food for thought.But for me I am not a fan of Syndication, (yet) and I do believe that the main reason for this is the lack of direct control I end up having.I have ventured into Partnerships over the years and with the exception of the one I have with my wife, none of them worked well for me, I understand this is more than likely a result of my approach to them, so I am confident that I can make it work, to me its a matter of finding the right place, and after a lot of conversations about Memphis I have decided this is not where I want my first Large Apartment purchase to be.I am now going to expand my search into Texas and possibly other surrounding states to see what can be found.

It's a great location for commercial suites, CVS, or fast food restaurant.

I have been a lender catering to funds, investors and consumers for the last 4 years but my family has owned Multifamily my entire life and it helped put me through college during the recession.

We had to get the food out of the house first and had no way to separate it (no containers and no rooms by the road for separate piles).

There is a Meijer and strip mall with good restaurants and businesses nearby including a Whole Foods that helps garner renters, owners to the area.

There are many real estate investors who cater to those people and help them buy a house using the creative terms mentioned.

(This strategy works best with land home packages and will allow you to make your rent while having them handle the maintenance)5)  Find stores that cater to second hand MH material.  

The other part is catering your business to fit your personality.
