I’ve been in this game a while, and I can tell you that the people that are new that think they can do work themselves often times get in over their heads and think they’re saving money.

Lesson from Radiant Young Adults night in Tampa – "Staying Power"Last Thursday's session reminded me:- Stay consistent- Play the long game- Consistency always beats periodic bursts of intensity- Consistency might feel “boring,” but that’s where growth happensStay the course!

If this part of the article is true, why would a landlord go to a unit because the tenant had called to say they killed someone and showed them a video of a dead person? 

What @Jonathan Greene said about the MLS can be true, BUT make sure the market is large enough and that there are enough listings going through realtors.

Even if it was a low performer (which it isn't), isn't it part of the game to reimagine, see the potential and make it a success? 

Yes, this true. 

Horrible idea for many reasons...1) Without a decent down payment ~20%, it's very unlikely you'll cashflow after all expenses 2) Sounds like this would be a highly leveraged property - high leverage when rates are high is a dangerous game to play.

Quote from @Tri Tran: If what you are saying is true, you could pressure her to make this right by filing a complaint with the state board.

For the purpose of this exercise, I would like to start by separating syndications into two categories: (1) smaller capital raises that will only attract the friends and family sized checks because they require too much brain damage for those with the larger check writing capabilities;  and (2) syndications with capital raises large enough to fit within the investment parameters of true private equity/family office check writing capabilities. 

If you are going to do a game room and want it to move the needle then you need to really do it.
