An attorney can give his opinion as to what the odds are of the different ways a legal dispute can play out, but it’s the investors decision based on a cost/benefit/ risk analysis to decide how and of to proceed.There’s no way for anyone to render an opinion about what you “should” have done without (1) complete information as to the property being purchased and (2) complete information as to the risk tolerance and financial makeup of your investment group.Here’s my advice - don’t second guess yourself based on opinions of people who (1) don’t possess “all the facts” and (2) probably never acted as sponsors of a syndicated investment.
