Although you could do what is called a Tenant-In-Common (TIC) arrangement where an investor has 1031 exchange funds and wants to parlay that money into a syndication.

(then they sold it for $154k, then 2008 hit)A week after selling that house I read Rich Dad book which basically said I should not have sold UNLESS I could parlay that money out with sound strategy, which I think I did.I turned around and bought a raw lot in same town for $20k (it was cheap due to setback restrictions for septic and well). we ended up installing tanks that need to be pumped out every 6 months, no big deal.  

Do your gambling in the casino where YOU control your losses through the wagers you choose to make.

I'm becoming more and more interested in parlaying our equity into large MFH; preferably 150 units or more in order to support on-site in-house management and maintenance.

Their interests would be short-term, but I'd wager we could find a few people on BP in most markets that could do this.

Many (I'd actually wager that most) of the people that spend this money don't know about BiggerPockets, they don't know there is a network of people that do want to help and are great resources.

The investors also are wagering that many people no longer see owning a home as an essential part of the American dream.

There's nothing wrong with accepting a small lost if your making an educated wager that appreciation will outpace that loss AND that you have the financial reserves to handle the loss today, tomorrow, and even if the market turns south for a few years. 

I'm going to make a wager that within 10 years the OK City Thunder are no longer there. 

Often times you can parlay these investments (1031) into other deals at time of disposition turning it into a great long term hold play.
