While syndication probably offers a far better return than the stock market, it usually won't touch the return you can get from a self-managed property.  

Alerts can be really helpful too: http://www.biggerpockets.com/alertsThere are a few self-contained guides that you can access here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/guides

Note to self

Your first line of defense is avoiding the solicitations you receive here or from anywhere else, @Trish Dunn.

The majority of people on this site are people who self manage. 

But before jumping I would urge you to do a lot more self education. 

All of these are self-managed, with some help of others of course but I do look forward to expanding to hire a PM company.

@Genny Li  Hopefully they will engineer a forever lightbulb, so they don't have to be changed...or self charging.

Do a refi, pull cash out and invest either in a MH Park Syndication, Multifamily Value Add or Self Storage Syndication. ................

I say that because I have no control over the stock market, but I do self manage my single family homes.The absolute safest investment is certificate of deposits or savings accounts that are FDIC insured, but they pay sub 1% return.
