Monuments = heavy machinery that cannot be moved easily. e.g., Raytheons Tomahawk missiles facility or a restaurant in a particular location that fits your needs.

If they are sophisticated enough to do an owner finance deal, then they sure as heck shouldn't be basing the value of the property on the prospective interest payments they plan on receiving.

@Derek Robinson you can invest in Multifamily syndications if you are an accredited investor because most of the syndicators accept only accredited investors but some do take sophisticated investors if you are not an accredited investor and you can sit and see the money being directly deposited to your account and also you can reap the benefit of cost segregation and accelerated depreciation and wash off your other passive income with paper loss in apartment investment.

I am a sophisticated investor considering an investment with a syndicate.

Or maybe the more sophisticated person will think:"I'm obviously on the wrong mailing list, why would a commercial realtor want to buy (or list) my residential home?"

Fax gets emailed to you.What I don't like so much:Vumber app is not as sophisticated as Google Voice appIf you want Vumber to put the call straight through when you answer the call, you lose Vumber Voicemail.

You need to learn Capitalization rates if you are going to get a little more sophisticated. 2% ROI per month would work out to be a 24% cap rate if there were no expenses-- but some operating expenses are inevitable.

Also, I've developed relatively sophisticated referral-based selling strategies that that require me to educate the referral sources and show them both to how manage the client's expectation(s) and more recently, very specific ways they are to refer the client.So, I utilize offline and online advertising and, obviously, give a lot of thought to each and how they fit in the overall marketing mix.I like direct mail, inbound telemarketing, well-placed, industry/profession specific print ads, direct mail, paper & ink newsletters, public speaking, press releases, blogging & forums (limited social media), direct sales (in person), some conferences and specialty advertising (mugs, pens notepads) and a few others I won't mention. 

I am not saying judicial sale is bad ...it's very sophisticated way of purchasing properties ...the risk and reward is not there anymore ..prices are high and there is a lot of risk...it is not for everyone especially those who found out about the place from auction.com and want to grow fast.they know what they are doing. anything can happen in life but if there's something questionable on the title search, they back off.actually the best deals come with "something questionable" on the title for that specific reason...folks are scared and back off. unreleased mortgage, city of chicago lis pendens, probate, you name it ...you can deal with all that  stuff but you need to know how and who to hire...I've also noticed most of them won't buy if the owner is still there (I'm assuming it's cuz they can trash the place and/or file BK).my observation, occupancy does not matter for them and homeowner can file for bankruptcy after they left the house. they do trash the place and some of them take it to the extreme... 

Risks for smaller investments are much harder to qualify than they are for more institutional type assets because situations are often highly unique without a lot of comparable scenarios in the immediate market to establish a true market priceHaving said that, for larger commercial investments a more sophisticated analysis is common.
