Quote from @Mike Dymski: The syndication investing that is discussed on the BP forums and podcasts is a fraction of the larger syndication business. 

People love Vegas and it continues to bring new businesses (Hollywood 2.0) and sports teams, just look into different investment strategies. 

I'm a small business owner in the food industry; however, real estate is where I want to be full time.

Real estate is  a difficult business and getting things consistently right is not easy. 

Its interesting at how many agents and brokers have been brainwashed into thinking that you have to be part of an association just to conduct business.

You have to purchase in cash and you can only stay in them 28 days per year because the HOA runs it like a business and leases the HRH name but you do own the deed.

They all use the same business model.

I don't think it's expected nor do I think it will get you extra business or higher rated reviews.

Not only is it the right thing to do to help them get their legal ducks in a row about knowing SPECIFICALLY what the seller did wrong, ie did not disclose and can prove it was done for the sole purpose of deception to make the sale "smoother" but it can help you look good and have you learn how to avoid in the future (as you say "tighten up your due diligence")It sucks when agents "help" 1st time or largely inexperienced buyers long enough to make the sale and get their commission but then peace out on the client when something like this happens.It It seems like you are attempting to do the right thing which is admirable bc at the end of the day, the court system is the closest thing to a "business police" that ppl can get. 

But if this is the new normal, it could jeopardize our very business.
