BUY AND HOLD NOW OR MULTI FAMILY SYNDICATION LATER

[Jake Drappi]

Hello BP!

I am still a newbie investor, looking for small buy and holds and possibly BRRRRs. As of right now, I can go down many routes, but finding the right pay seems to be the hardest obstacle. Financially, I am able to afford a decent down payment on a multi family that is turnkey, but I am not seeing the ROI on those in NJ. I have started looking at higher cash flow areas in southern NJ, but there seems to be very little appreciation. My current situation is, if I decide to act now, I can buy a handful of small SFH or small multis in south Jersey that will cash flow or I can wait another year and I can meet the accredited investor standards and get into multi-family syndications.

My predicament is that I can either get into doing the work it takes to buy smaller deals and cash flow well, or wait until I am an accredited investor and still cash flow off of syndications without doing the bulk of the work.  

Which route would you take?

Now is better than tomorrow.
Small deals, when done right, can make a much higher ROI than big deals.

What makes you think non-accredited investors cannot get into syndications?  You just have to find the right ones and be careful the syndicator isn't taking most of the profit.
