And we only do no recourse financing.I realize this is easy for me to say - for someone starting out in the game with not a lot of capital and nothing to lose then maybe aggressive leverage and syndication makes sense.Syndication could make sense even if you *do* have a lot of capital - but the idea of a locked in sale date just seems insane to me.

I think ultimately it depends on deals and figures.

Our ultimate goal is to find a piece of land, not in a neighborhood, sell my home (once we get his credit score where it needs to be), and build a new home on the land.

They don't realize the value in being able to recycle your money quicker and they get caught up in "my rate is higher, my downpayment is more, and my term is shorter."

And then maybe after 3 months of generic letters, send him a personal letter and tell him that you've been sending out these marketing letters to people and just realized that his house was the one next door to yours.Ask him if he'd consider selling as it would make owning a rental that much easier being right next door like that.

All really depends what kind of property you find ultimately.
