I could make money 20 times faster when I do direct investment rather than syndication.These days actual syndication only gives 9-13% IRR max with potential of being wiped out completely 1:4 prior to covid and it's now 2:6/7 approximately after covid.not worth it in my opinion but that's my analysis but i do have lot of edge in what i do directly.

Stay on top of contractors, they're grown up babies 

However, the rents are slightly lower and could potentially wipe out your monthly cashflows with one major repair.As for higher appreciation market like West/East Coast, it's more expensive, but rents are higher due to a strong labor market, there will be a certain amount of demand for those markets, but the downside is that you will need to be creative by adding more values for the property.

Exactly unintended consequences and total BS. its like throwing the baby out with the bath water. this is not good this needs to be addressed in a positive manner and like right NOW. in my mind. 

You can only wipe out your 2023 rental income down to zero but not go below zero.

I have been striking out in underwriting with 30 yr fixed rates, the math just isn't working out for me to make any cash flow and the debt service monthly expense is wiping out any NOI and thus my yield. 

Since then, I've had a baby and now am pregnant with my second and I miss my extended family, so I'm considering selling the land and moving home but I want to be smart about it.I'm looking at marketability, value opinions per forested acreage for the area, and whether this kind of property is selling in the area lately or if we're better off holding it for a while. 

Also they never mentioned their license.I've uncovered so many "good legitimate business" that's ending up investor losing money or being wiped out at the level ten deep dive due diligence, but this one is the most transparent scammer.

The husband I have in mind is African American; the wife is black as well; their 2 yr old baby isn't mixed; the ID emailed to us is of a white guy.

You don't need to be wiping and powdering every poopy bottom every do-nothing tenant on your rent roll wags your way.
