This is why relationships are critical in syndications and not as much when investing in a typical mutual fund/ETF portfolio.Don't mistake a rising tide - the RE market being up for 9 years - for operational intelligence. not directed toward @omar khan, but just to leave here as information a post I made in a thread a month ago that is appropriate here:when I first started researching investing in syndications, one of the first web pages I found was this:http://www.nasaa.org/22284/informed-investor-alert-private-placement-offerings/ Private Placements and the Risk of FraudEntities raising capital through private placements often have a limited operating history and typically have more modest revenue streams than larger companies.Because private placement offerings made in reliance on Rule 506 of Regulation D are not reviewed by regulators, they have become a haven for fraud.According to the most recent enforcement statistics from the North American Securities Administrators Association, private placement offerings are the most frequent source of enforcement cases conducted by state securities regulators.

Quote from @Daniel Zamora: I have noticed the greed that permeates investors Investors are trying to build their business yes but can any of you tell me this and I have noticed no response on my question if this were your parents your grandma would you help them or kick them to the curb God gave us minds and hearts to think with and help those who are less fortunate The law of reciprocity Gods laws of reciprocity cut both ways so I'll answer my own question If this were my mom my grandma etc I would try everything I could to help for where there is a will there definitely is a way investing is for profit yes but remember guys investors are and should be creative to maintain their tenancy relationships I wish you all Success unendingGods Best Words ended D  Are you suggesting that it is "greed" to try to make your investments perform?
