Invest in syndication, for a guaranteed income, it's secured by real estate you know, imagine 123 Main Street New Yor as collateral.

And the cash flow may be better than the tax free muni’s (typically 3%) or the t-bills (taxed at 37%, knocks down after tax cash flow to like 3% yield).No guarantees in life.

It is virtual guarantee that a RE purchase looks great at 10 years.  

A good mentor with “one on one” teaching would not have allowed that to happen and would keep you from making those mistakes.Also, you should have been given the option of a money back guarantee, like we offer, if for some reason you don’t buy a property.But to use your experience of making bad personal decisions, after the fact, to try to reason that you are better off going on your own, is simply called "self justification" and is not consistent with the picture you paint.Wow, what gave you that impression? 

The representative said the tenant would be re-evaluated after 6 months to see if they still qualified for the assistance and they couldn't guarantee a year long lease.At least with Section 8 its guaranteed money.

If you put the $500k you got tax free in a guaranteed bank CD you earn $25k+.

just received an email from Roam and they guaranteed a 45 day close or they would pay for the seller's mortgage  until it closed if it went over the 45 days to close.  

Just as a reminder in addition to the interest rate, amortization schedule and fixed period of the loan, inquire about: 1) Prepayment Penalties (In case you want to refinance in a few years), 2) Possibility of Rehab Funding, 3) Reserve Requirements, 4) Personal Guarantees, 4) Rate Adjustments (i.e. at the 5 year mark) to understand other variables in the loan product that works best for your project.

This can be huge....but again there are no guarantees in life
