As to your points about other methods such as 'investing in a private syndication' or the like imagine this; you can invest say 500K cash and make a 500K return over 5 years that you now owe say 200K in taxes on leaving you with 300K profit - *or* you could invest 500K from your ROTH IRA or SOLO, make a 500K return and owe NO taxes and net 500K profit - a 66% better return.

I ask a few questions such as:-Communication - were they responsive to emails and calls-Property care - any major issues / did they leave the property in good condition-Reason for leaving - this would give you more insight if there were issuesAnd always respect privacy if they are not willing to share.
