It's a nightmare. unfortunately this happens a lot to people because they do not understand the risk involved.

There’s too many variables involved.

IOW, there is a little more hands-on involvement with an investment property that is intrinsic to performing your due-diligence.

I think i remember reading that you can also demonstrate accreditation status by working in some capacity for the syndicator, or also by working "meaningfully" in real estate anywhere in some capacity, and these don't have a dollar value ie. the 300k joint filing or 1Meg net worth threshold. but the amount of due diligence required to invest in a private syndication is/should be a lot, which always are more opaque than a public RE investment, like REITs, is something you may want to avoid until you have been involved in RE directly for some timeconsider mortgageREITs, eg.

It would involve installing new dedicated water pipes per unit, three combi water heaters (to replace the two conventional water heaters and the central boiler), and three gas and water meters.

Being in a second lien position does involve more risk, as you’re second in line for repayment if things go wrong.

There are options to leverage this property and that is a strategy which involves risking the one asset to buy another.

The other benefit of doing it myself is that it's forced me to be much more involved and to better understand the finances of my investing business.

I think you're recommending a more detailed analysis involving the age/condition of all the building components/systems and prorating those costs out over time.
