@Evan Polaski , good stuff. Makes sense. I’m in Chicago and prices have shot up. Been looking in the 10-20 unit range to start but looks like even those will be difficult to swing. It’s tough to get that first one to start!

Thanks guys. I'm a realtor and have been going through the MLS, as well as Loopnet and the rest. Best deals probably off market. I have the money and ready to roll, but the numbers from the loan always throw me off. Is there an online calculator specifically for these kind of deals?

I am curious as to how most syndicators structure their financing to make the most sense for the investment.  For every property I've analyzed, once I factor in the debt service from the loan, all cashflow is wiped out.  I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong, or if these deals just aren't worth it.  How do you structure the lending? Interest only or is there always principal? 5-7 years with balloon payment?

Thank you!
