BUT, please be aware of the followingMissing interest payments on a promissory note is not necessarily the result of a fraud, most often it is simply the results of a poorly performing business.  

Those properties won't look as good on paper, but they'll perform MUCH better in real life. 

Quote from @Mike Calvey: This exact situation has been playing out on Twitter in recent weeks, with many 'business influencers' who jumped into the syndication space a few years ago facing backlash.

When you are purchasing a multifamily property, the seller will be advertising the property performs at a certain cap rate.

@Dennis Boettjer be careful about basing your decision solely on past deal performance.

In the next 5 years, we can buy one property per year with 25% down (~100K), and perform the same operation of using cash-flow for paying off properties next 15 years and we will have $15K/month net-profit which hits our goal adjusted for inflation (assumed at 3%).

After nearly 3 years of operating history, I'm concerned that the properties are not performing well enough to warrant continuation of the venture, and I'm considering selling.

We have been swept by the influencers touting the benefits of cost seg, so we are wondering how come nobody ever mentioned that it might not fully appy during the first year in service.You relied on two almost equally awful sources of information: influencers and IRS publications.

I ONLY carry performing debt, debt that pays me to hold it.
