Since I enjoy the management and improvements and tools and growing a business, I chose to acquire my own properties.As for whether syndication is the "best way" ... it's totally whether the syndicator is good or not. 

Being clear about what’s covered in the lease and by local laws can avoid misunderstandings and set their realistic expectations.If you do plan to carry out the cosmetic upgrades (because the property is overdue and of course you want to ensure your tenants are enjoying their home to the best of your abilities), try to schedule the repairs at times that minimize disruption.

In this instance, I would enjoy the dispute and clearly will not be backing down.  

Do you have a nice amount saved up for the activities you enjoy(I assume yes given a 30+ year in Tech plus you mentioning making lots of money already in real estate).If that is the case, what are you looking to achieve now within real estate?

I’m originally from NYC and I’m currently working overseas for nearly 10 years as a Construction Manager and have been enjoying my time here as well as my family (and the tax benefits too!!).

Enjoy that music--this is definitely a moment when agents who can say no, and drive action--will see some serious benefit. 

Enjoy the process, and may your journey lead you to a rewarding and successful outcome!

All the military service members I have worked with have really enjoyed not paying real estate taxes here in IL!

Enjoy man!

I've enjoyed learning about various capital raisers and their businesses and interested to hear some reviews on this company.
