That is a steep price for anyone new looking to get involved. 

Rolling an SDIRA back into a traditional IRA is possible but may involve liquidation costs and administrative complexities.

It’s great to see your post, sounds like you’re deeply involved in the real estate investing world with a range of strategies.

Im not sure if I do enough to call it active but it's my only gig right now since I retired .No involvement , I go check on the property in Colorado on occasion to check it out the condition.from my decades of doing this you pay income tax to the state you live in..

As a new real estate agent in Northern Virginia, I'm trying to make these connections, but my immediate thoughts and attemps just involve messaging these business and informing them I'm an agent and that if the respective family is in need of a realtor I'd be happy to work w/ them, but every time I do that, the response I get is "we already have a realtor" or "house was already sold or listed"........and a lot of times I am refresh to the post, so obviously I want to be "there" sooner so I can get the seller listing lead.

Question is how can I apply pressure on the syndicator to update status and return my funds?

@Dean GulloTo build connections in Southington and surrounding areas, join local real estate meetups, connect through BiggerPockets forums, get involved with local landlord associations, reach out to real estate professionals, attend town or community events, and expand your team.

If not, you can always increase the rent to market value, but my guess is it being California, there are limits to rent increases.There are rent caps but they do not apply to single family homes owned by individuals (not LLCs or Corps) 

Best to involve attorneys/lawyers as well, but it depends on the type of financing you get.  

The top chart below quickly shows you what the renovated, avg and distressed homes sell for in that area on a $/sf basis over time, so if you are estimating way over the top line, you instantly know something is off, maybe you have an outlier comp on your hands, etc.It doesn't have STR data, because any STR we build must also pencil as a LTR to avoid being upside down if it doesn't workout, so we use normal residential lease data when underwriting our rentals.As for forecasts on the market, I don't do any aside from the current Q trending % at the footer of the charts, and it's really just the current Q's average data/performance held constant and applied to the rest of the quarter (since not fully done with Q yet).
