I haven't used Investor Carrot personally and know many people are happy with it.

Better pricing if they also insured your personal home.

This just depends on you personally.

Quote from @Lorenzo Lopez: Hello everyone,I’m a 20 year old aspiring multifamily syndicator and I’m looking for someone with who I can practice and role-play pitching deals to with a full presentation and answering tough questions.If anybody could help, would be an absolute honor and very appreciated.ThanksI recommend focusing first on gaining solid experience in the industry.

Make sure you have a solid team around you, and you feel comfortable evaluating potential deals.

One of the most important aspects of managing your property is ensuring you place solid tenants in your properties, which will alleviate problems down the line.

But back to my first point, if you can use the "tax benefits" at all, if so how much, and how they effect taxes owed at the back end of the deal are all unique to each person's situation.As for refinances, some syndicators model refi's and other's don't.  

My personal approach to this, I don't seek for a positive cash flow if I have bare minimum equity in the property.

I've done this with my properties because I'm well known in my small town and don't want people to know what I own.LEGAL PROTECTION: By placing your assets in an LLC, you are legally separating them from your personal assets.

While I am fine renting while I search for the right investment, my dream would be to build (for my own personal home).
