After years of liberal leadership and nightmare evictions (6 - 12 months) I have convinced my family to sell all of their holdings in the state.

👋 I'm an active-duty Sailor based in San Diego with 14 years of leadership and operations experience, and I’m working my way into multifamily syndication.

I completely agree with this and would add another angle I’ve seen far too often: many syndicators are simply inexperienced, not just in real estate investing but also in leadership and communication.Because of that, they’ve never had to deliver bad news before.

Think Airbnb meets land.With a background in software engineering and startup leadership, I built Hookhub after living full-time in an RV and seeing the massive gap in affordable, flexible housing — and the untapped potential for landowners.

Success depends on strong leadership and transparent communication; risks often involve uneven contributions or disagreements on management/sales.What’s most “risky” usually comes down to partner dynamics and unclear agreements — making sure roles, exit options, profit splits, and voting rights are crystal clear up front.Your cooperative funding idea sounds like a really intriguing middle-ground between partnerships and syndication.

It’s great that you’re leveraging your military background into real estate — those organizational and leadership skills will give you a strong foundation.A few thoughts as you get started:Your skillset will pay off — Success in real estate often boils down to consistency and attention to detail, so you’re already ahead of most new investors.Focus on one niche at a time — Multifamily and commercial can be awesome long-term goals, but you’ll probably learn the ropes faster if you cut your teeth on smaller rental properties first.
