It becomes like breathing air you just know how to do it optimally without thinking about it.I have seen syndicators take on loan assumptions with marginal terms and high fees or they used floating debt just to massage the numbers so they could hit a certain projected pref (hopefully) to the investors to entice investment of capital.

The key to individual  investors here, in my opinion, is to turn around smaller properties where you optimize income, value, and tenant class.

However, what I plan to do is to optimize cashflowing REI to speed up early retirement plan by 20-30 yrs.
