If none, your losing money, on either the existing or potential.3. 

Sadly, there are quite a few people over 65 on the verge of losing all their retirement money they put into these guy's investments that are doing terribly while they both go start new ones.

My recommendation to serious real estate investors is buy an opportunity in any segment, do the math (it's all about the ROI; some investors fall for the 'commercial' is more prestigious chest thump to find that losing money isn't very prestigious at all), and plan on proactively running a business. 

I’ve watched investors lose momentum by sticking to a single city’s slower regulations when a neighboring municipality was more open to new builds.

@Ella Marie the Pro's are you can build long term wealth, the Cons are you can lose money if you cannot properly quantify risk.

The owner seems to want to not lose ownership of the account altogether.

If you reduce to $2,300 and are able to fill the property faster, yes, you are "losing" $100 per month, but even at that rate, it would take two whole years to equal the loss of the $2,400 vacancy month.

We can draw this conclusion when we see the offering in question showing projected returns far in excess of what we know is achievable without an undo degree of risk. 

This would be my first real estate investment, making the decision even more critical.I understand that backing out would mean losing the $2,000 earnest deposit.
