Again, I will emphasize I am NOT stating that Praxis Capital is a "bad" sponsor - they are not a fly by night Syndicator that is going to abscond w/your money by any means and I believe their accounting is likely very rigorous (and they do get generate their K-1s in a timely manner) but I have done better w/other Sponsors in terms of return for my money, investing in properties or assets that have held their value even during this high interest rate environment and perhaps even work more hands on w/direct management of their properties (w/their property mgr).
