i invest via 50/50 partnerships. i find/coordinate/manage the deal, and my partner brings the capital to the deal & approves large expenses. on their end, it's just about as hands-off as investing in a syndication, but they get to be one of just two main 50/50 decision-makers. and when there are just two parties involved in a deal like this, vs it being diluted across tons of investors, i find it's also possible for the capital partner to see much higher returns. when it comes to teaming up in real estate i'm much more relationship-based and less transactional. i'd rather do fewer very high-quality, carefully selected deals, each with just one capital partner, so that i can really serve that person's best interests and get us amazing results, vs. doing a bunch of diluted deals. i also feel a lot of syndicators out there are newer to the game, lack experience, haven't used their own money enough, and don't use their investors' dollars with enough caution. it gives the high quality syndicators a bad name.

In two detailed YouTube videos, Santarelli names each company and recounts fictional stories of his involvement in their successful through the online relaunching by Norada Capital Management.

@Jay Hinrichs      But I do understand the OP points and I think that folks just really dont understand the work and risk involved in ANY rental property short of NNN leases with super strong companies Exactly. 

At first I looked at this as possibly just a failed investment where millions of unaccredited investors lost money (still very bad for everyone involved), but after learning about the involvement of Ronald Fossum that has a convicted history of defrauding investors and the fact that Norada is still raising money from investors, my mind now goes immediately to possible Ponzi Scheme paying past investors current funds being raised.

MFA are involved and recommended Zeker - this thread has me second guessing proceeding with them - any further thoughts on using them? 

If none of those scenarios apply and the building is in fact grossing ~$10,750/m reach out because the building is not in a $115K door neighborhood in which case I would be interested and can find a way to involve you and make sure you're compensated :)

There is a lot of risk involved with that and it could turn out to be a problem with the wrong people in place. 

This usually involves putting down 20% down payment on 150K-170K houses.

I've been involved in a lawsuit that settled right at a million dollars, and that was over 20 years ago.

By the time I got to that point the cost and time involvement was so high I decided it was a distraction to what was already working.
