I have few SFRs and I would say the cash flow is good while going is good.  You get 1 trouble tenant and all of a sudden few years worth of cash flow is exhausted (think of maintenance/repairs).  With larger properties (whether something you can buy on your own or invest in experienced syndicators you feel comfortable with) there is diversification and more peace of mind (from not having to deal without management layer).  Another benefit you can potentially get is being able to do cost segregation and benefit from better tax efficiency.

Congratulations @Mason Snyder!  12 SF and now breaking ground on 235 unit self storage units in 2 years is great progress!

From my understanding, question about when to syndicate vs JV is not based on size of the project but rather participation of parties involved. You can familiarize yourself with "BREAKING DOWN Howey Test" at https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/howey-test.asp.  Hope that helps!

@Adam Merrill, others have already chimed in rightly about using Self-directed IRA for this. However, remember you can't personally guarantee loans for IRA so you would be able to use the funds to use in others' ventures but I don't think you can use those funds to leverage. @Dmitriy Fomichenko, am I right?

I am looking for a lawyer referral for help in Prince William County, VA for court case against my non-paying and non-cooperating tenant.

@Rosanna Tran I believe @Scott Krone has experience in converting.

I am currently with a national bank which has given me HELOC to 80% LTV but I wanted to see if there are any other banks which can go higher than that?

You look at cash on cash when you use leverage and mortgages can be had around 5% with experienced partners.

Another problem I am facing is evaluating properties for mortgages. Since all my past purchases were cash, ROI was really good. The ones I am looking at now show an ROI of around 6% - 7% in Greenwich, CT and Stamford, CT mainly. If the mortgage is 6%, how does anyone make money? I must be missing something. I hope someone can clarify.
