This group is full of knowledgeable people, though you may sometimes get conflicting advice.

As usual in most responses in this forum you are getting conflicting information. 

Trust me.Set the Tone Early: Respect is KeyAs an introvert, I hate conflict.

It's not so much that he is hard for me to understand, but I think the severity of my situation is hard for him to understand.Come onThe short of it is that my husband has extremely high conflict is extremely money hungry, and it really has nothing better to do with her time.

The appearance of these conflicts is the exact reason we have chosen not to set up a separate maintenance company.4) As others have said some of these might be security deposit issues.Best,Rick  

I’m New to this forum and have been getting conflicting advise on this matter.

I started out with the other guys, getting a couple LLC's done but became disappointed with them because of response time, and conflicting information.

Consequently, it’s up to these companies themselves, not demand from investors, to set the value of their shares.Non-traded REITs own about 10% of the $2.5 trillion in real estate assets held by REITs, not counting private ones whose shares are only available to accredited investors, according to the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, a trade group.The SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, a self-regulatory organization for brokerage firms and exchange markets, issued investor notices in the mid-2010s that warned of potential risks from non-traded REITs.They include a lack of clarity as to how shares are valued, difficulties in selling shares readily, high fees often paid to managers with possible conflicts of interest, and the potential that investor cash and loan proceeds can be used to pay dividends during unprofitable periods.More recently, high-profile investment firms such as Blackstone Group and Starwood Capital Group have started their own non-traded property trusts with offers to disclose more information, charge fewer fees, and allow shares to be cashed in more frequently.

Read carefully any PPM for any of these syndications and identify how many times the SEC demands the following disclosures: 1) you can lose all your money 2) there are uncontrolled risks 3) there are no guarantees 4) the numbers are all hypothetical 5) the syndicator will use leverage 6) the market usually fluctuates 7) the SEC does NOT have a copy of the PPM 8) the SEC neither read nor approved the PPM 9) the SEC does not vet the syndicator 10) the offering is not registered with the SEC 11) there are conflict of interests 12) the SEC encourages you to seek professional advice Etc etc The game of real estate is based usually on investing in your own back yard and getting some reasonable leverage and if things go against you, then decide if they are issues related to the market cycles and you can hold on till the market shifts and recovers or you should just dump the project at a loss and pay off your loan.

As to structure and conflict of interest, I was initially planning to structure it as an equity fund but was told it might be more attractive to investors as a first lien debt fund and to use it as a bank for the LLCs deals.
