In essence, they hand-hold you through on how to do two things:  First, find and tie up a select vacant commercial property, then Second get a prospective tenant who would agree to move into that subject property at a future date. 

Nuff said.Being a Credit Literacy advocate among other things, I don't hold with much of what Dave Ramsey preaches.

Risky too compared to just holding stocks or bonds.I'm not even worth that much money so I have to ask the more experienced and successful investors on this forum: what keeps you going?

Long story short.. they inflated rent projections, sliced corners on property management, and almost left him holding the bag when the actual numbers came in.Vetting a syndicate means getting cozy with the sponsor’s track record, verifying their underwriting approach, and understanding whether they’ve handled rough waters before.

However, my hold up is what market to look at that will help me meet my goals.

(Probably net more cash (75%-80) than they would from selling. (8-10% in selling costs, plus 15%-25% federal taxes and depreciation recapture, and 8-10% state income tax means netting only 55-69%.) and then Hold until they pass.

I began inviting them to online zoom meetings I would hold with brokers, agents and investors... friends I had made along the way, where we would just talk strategy, loan types, current market trends etc.

So if I am looking at an asset as a 10 year play - I look more at the location, schools and how has this market performed in the past excluding covid and 2008 which were extenuating circumstances.Reality is right now shorter term plays do not work based on numbers and cost of financing - we went through this same thing in 2001-2004ish timeframe where properties would appreciate 2-3% per year and after buying costs and closing costs - you were not making money on assets unless you performed the labor or found a really good deal.this is how real estate "typically" is - which is why everyone always says location location location - because after a decent holding period, you will win.

I have to decide if im going to use a new injection of capital from the sale of my primary residence to:1) Hold in treasury bills at 4.5 percent until I find another property to purchase2) Pay off one of two existing mortgages, one at 3.75 percent and another at 4.5 percent3) Just find something to buy that beats either of those percentages on paper and be done with it4) Possibly loan out some hard money/broker it to a friend to allocateIts never an easy decision, but its a good problem to have.
