I have a property in Memphis...and frankly no matter how much I've spent on property management (have had three, all promise the sky and deliver next to nothing), I have gotten the run around by the property management team in all three cases, which has deterred me from investing further in Memphis real estate.

Coin jams are going to be your second biggest headache unless you invest in those fancy ones with tap-to-pay but those cost a pretty penny.

Taking action isn't only investing in real estate.

They are investing in infrastructure, housing, public safety and taking the steps they need to take to attract more jobs. 

I plan to stay in this general area for at least the next 20 years and think buying real estate would be a great way to diversify my investment portfolio.So in almost any scenario you will come ahead buying vs renting over twenty years probably well less than half of that, but the investment you are making is a long term investment you probably won’t be able to leave after a year or two and rent for more than your mortgage, I’d really think about where you want to live medium-long term, than any investment metric, because the longer you stay the better the investment looks, and if you can move out sooner great, but I’d guess at minimum you’d have to stay 5 years before rents would catch up to your mortgage. 

I am considering investing into this syndication, they are a housing development syndication fund. https://broadstreetglobalfund....Anyone have any experience working with them?
