I listened to bigger pockets till my wife threatened me ha ha.

I am very new to RE investing and reading the above book. 

Whereas a RE Broker that puts in the time will or should be doing a majority of the bizz 5 to 10 years in by referral..

Here is a link:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/steps-to-take-when-you-ha...If that's no help, perhaps post more about what you are seeing in your investment that has led you to the conclusion that it has failed. 

The proceeds from the flips will be re-invested in syndication deals or move back to invest in stock market.

I would highly recommend RE cost seg, they do give us a kickback for referrals though full disclosure.

I use the data case Shiller used to publish on total residential RE return for large cities for this century (it is my belief it is no longer published as I have not seen it in a few years).  

Could you re-invest the capital into something else?

Far from covering your negative cash flow but covers half of it and is a good indicator of future rent growth.2.5 years ago i purchased my first negative cash flow property (but for years i claimed I would buy a negative cash flow RE if my underwriting showed a return that met my criteria) and it was a lot more than $800/month negative with my underwriting (which was quite close to 50% rule).  

After hearing Green a few times, I was pretty convinced he is the most trust worthy person someone could ever get RE advice from.
