After that, another round of letters and repeat the cycle again with postcards.

My Google search revealed the principal of TruePoint started investing in 2020, and if that's true, this sponsor lacked all of the things that I consistently preach to look for--experience, track record, full-cycle experience, market cycle experience, and so on.  

If you are just starting out, I do not recommend you exposing yourself to more than 25k - 30k in capital investment through the whole life cycle of a deal - close to close.

Hey Jason, it is funny how people have diffrent opinion about syndication here Personnally I invest via syndication for several years now and never had bad experinece out of it.I did 35+ full cycle and always making good money.Their is always risk in any investement and I think as an investor you need to choose carefully who you are working with and don't be shy to ask for SREO or any track record from those syndicator oout there.good luck investing

Here are some considerations for commercial real estate:Higher Income Potential: Commercial properties often generate higher rental income compared to residential properties, especially in prime locations.Longer Leases: Commercial leases tend to be longer (5-10 years or more), providing more stable cash flow and less frequent turnover.Tenant Diversity: Depending on the property type, you can diversify your tenant base, spreading risk across multiple businesses or corporations.Market Dynamics: Commercial real estate can be more sensitive to economic cycles and local market conditions, requiring a deeper understanding of business trends and tenant industries.Purchasing: Generally, commercial real estate will require 20% down.Choosing Between the Two:When deciding between commercial and residential real estate, consider these factors:Investment Goals: Are you looking for steady rental income, long-term appreciation, or both?

Those waiting for a recession will be waiting for a LONG time...it isn't happening this economic cycle, the stubbornly high inflation rates indicate that.A few points above to reiterate: (1) real estate is LOCAL, while there may be some worrying trends nationally, the Harford County market is strong and will stay that way IMO, (2) timing the market is generally a fools errand if you have a long term outlook (if you're looking at short term investments then timing factors in more), (3) if you're looking for a place to live (not strictly an investment) then there are a lot of other important factors to consider.Bottom line is that if you have the means, and if you intend to own the place for 5 or more years, I personally wouldn't hesitate to jump in.
