If you want to enter into a partnership where you bring the equity, focus on finding a partner who has demonstrated the ability to add value not as easily obtained through fee oriented services. 

The price to enter is extremely low compared to other markets in the U.S. and the cash-flow is high.

If not, do you materially participate in the syndication or are you simply a limited partner?

Simply document your attempts to remedy the issue.

So I simply ended up buying it from my wholesaler.

Hard barrier to enter, but its a very resilient market.

I simply said the issue wasn't a lease item, but he was welcome to walk over and talk to my tenant...he never did.

Sure, in theory, the strategy this investor used might sound clever, but it’s also incredibly risky to rely solely on the compliance of a borrower—especially when they might not fully understand the terms or simply can't agree due to their personal situation.I have tons of ideas that might look good on paper, but I don’t pursue them because I assess the real risks involved.

I earned good money as a server and simply used it to go on my next adventure and that was all I really needed.

@Chris Seveney, you simply DON'T UNDERSTAND how investments work.
