You will see it in virtually ever commerical bathroom on the planet.. 

Oh and the cherry on top is everything is potentially toxic!

So does sophisticated investor mean "everybody on the planet other than accredited investors" or are there other requirements.If i'm understanding correctly I would scour bigger pockets forums, find the people talking about syndication, contact them directly to ask if they have x of 35 slots remaining for sophisticated investors, then put in 100,000 and collect 8% a year on it.I dunno for me personal i'd rather use the 100,000 for a leveraged investment townhouse or something in the neighborhood of the new amazon HQ2.Also makes me wonder where do accredited investors go to find a directory of these offerings to jump in to?  

I talked to them in 2010 when i had a semi complicated business model. and of course they lead you one you send your bizz plan.. and very few questions later lo and behold your approved.. subject to underwriting which will be 10k.. they preyed on beginners who wanted larger loans which no beginner on the planet would ever get from a legit lender.so I was like no way dude.. you did not ask enough questions.. so i passed then learned on American greed they are were crooks of the first order.

But I'm not the bravest soul on the planet.  

Or what if some moronic narcissistic imbecile decides to blow up the planet, now that that ability has been concentrated into the small hands of so few? 

An asteroid might hit the planet....buy low.

No action should be taken on anything I post by inhabitants of planet Earth or any other celestial body.

We are either the weakest people on the planet or the greatest fraudsters.

But again, you either need to commit to scouring the planet until you find something or partner with someone/company that's already doing this.As far as market timing goes, just be conservative when you underwrite your deals.
