I've sold over 80 homes personally in the last 30 months and I'm usually within $5k of the appraisal report when I run my CMA for clients.

A person doesn't have to like these new realities but realities they are none the less.

Results have not been great but also realize it takes time. 

Syndicators do this because most passive investors are not sophisticated enough to realize the "security" of the preferred return means they usually are giving up the potential for massive returns if the deal does well.This next comment would apply for all syndication.  

I've been on this platform for many years and, over the years, I've seen new members linked or part to Mexican real estate agencies posting educational content about investing in Mexico out of the blue shortly after becoming new members and then disappear as they realized that their efforts wasn't giving them the amount of business they were hoping for.

They are more useful IMO for getting chunks of equity right off the bat thru value add and then either realizing that equity by flipping it and using for a down payment on something bigger or hold a couple years and then sell at that point to do that then. 

Now the paper losses are still able to be realized via the holding companies while the management fees are earned tax free?

Hopefully they realize working with you and paying higher rent is better than moving. 

However, one side fails to realize that by artificially constraining the lot rent of a community, the owner is perpetuating the community’s eventual demise.
