If you look at projections many outfits are paying almost nothing in the hopes of a return years down with the pro-forma.I personally would be very skittish of those type of deals right now.My syndications I focused on value add dark retail NNN buildings to re-purpose.

I did a test run in Brazil and I believe it passed with flying colors.

The scary thing is that I've been researching tax liens for months yet didn't come across anything about this case until today, so I expect that a lot of other investors are in the dark.

I prefer the old style arcade consoles over a TV/X-box setup because of the ambiance and old timey arcade feeling, but that might be just me.And yeah, paint the floor and walls bright and colorful and throw in a mini-split.

The dark side of real estate syndication that nobody talks about 

You're being unhelpful -  I would not put it as colorfully as that, but I think the over all point is that to some degree your general mentality may not be as conducive to the way a lot of landlord dynamics work.

Created en suite bed/bath, extra bedroom/office/playroom, created family/tv room, added a couple of windows in dark rooms, installed new HVAC, ran all new pex lines/valves/shut offs, all new hardwood flooring and carpet, all new and expanded kitchen cabinets, new appliances, converted 1/2 bath into full bath, repurposed 2 unused rooms (1 into a 4th bedroom/office/playroom and one into a family room, installed new interior and exterior lighting, new electric garage door w/remote, and landscaping What was the outcome?

The shutters would be for looks only, so no need to have an arched top IMO.Cool, the trim and eaves are a dark red now.

We tried to be cordial but now he started showing his true colors.
