If so I would push back, but if not, the appraiser really may have chosen the best comps for your property. 

Less risk.I considered long distance investing but instead have chosen to buy a few rentals in Spokane the last few years, I dont regret it.

They may be lazy or not care because they think no one notices and it ends up getting dealt with.

Let's just ignore the fact you are knowingly misleading those you want to stumble across your your more polished syndication resume, but who cares? 

The property should be clean, functional, and safe.A well-maintained property attracts higher-quality renters that will pay more, stay longer, and take better care of the home.

We are responsible for all of the maintenance of the building, and they take care of custodial.

To begin investing in real estate, learn first, set financial goals, analyze finances, study markets, make friends in the field, get a loan, start with small properties, check all details, plan how to manage them, and choose renters carefully.

.- I don't care if the investment is less liquid vs. an ETF or REIT and I would aim to hold it for 5+ years at the bare minimum.Some other questions I had and would appreciate any advice:- Is an average minimum of 12-15% irr reasonable for syndicated deals ($10mm - $100mm) with an experienced sponsor?

I bought it sight unseen as I viewed it as a small development project, did my due diligence up front and didn’t really care about the state of the house.There were 5 offers on the property to which I ended up knowing a few of the other bidders.

So be careful out there when you choose these people.
