When I was working for a fortune 200 company selling very sophisticated computers to Hanford, Boeing and the military I had a co-worker who was a reserve Marine officer.

See Ohio  FLA CA. and more states will start as well its a trend.2. because so many undercapitalized or new investors see this as a way to make cash the reasons there are so many complaints and the states are perking up is many who do not have any money any experience tie up property and basically fib to the owners and then walk with weasel clauses.. there by in the perception of the sellers and regulators damaging said seller.we all buy low or we hope we do and we try to sell high or we hope too..

Compare this to other sponsors on here who are getting completed roasted, and it comes down to them being smaller, not communicating and appear to be focused on their next fund and not the ones they have.I think really the key to answer the status of those syndication is if we have AI that can do sophisticated intel and ask something like these :Hey ChatGPT, what is the current occupancy and DSCR of Apartment at 123 Main St, PA 11222 ? 

@Curt Davis  so curt 10 points for total closing costs... with lenders burying junk fee's in with points.makes my 10 point no junk fee deals seem pretty good since they are non recourse and no qualifying .. its all about perception and how the cost are delivered  right ?

One needs a CRM, or any other tool, depending on your level of organization / sophistication. 

Unfortunately we turn down many investors that come to us for various reasons.One of the big reasons is that if someone doesn't know what they want, I'm not the one to tell them what they should want.If I used such conversion tactics (Which I could easily do), would smell disaster long term IMO just like it did for many other overnight turnkey scammers promising 15%+ cap rates.It's not all about money/profit for us and it's also not all about baby-sitting incompetence either.We have enough "free" online marketing content where a half sophisticated investor can easily come to a conclusion about all of our offerings.Many try to side step the obvious and want more for themselves.Building a relationship in business but in life also shouldn't be about "take, take, take" or "me, me, me".It should be "give and receive"I bet that many folks can provide or offer some value in return from experience they gained from a W2 or in another way.Guess how many have offered something of value over my last 12 years of investing?

I commend you for working that hard for that little, but that's typically what you expect for very low skill labor, and you sound more sophisticated.

Real estate is much art as it is numbers.Everyone has perceptions, opinions, including not limited to agents, contractors, project managers and ultimately - the investor shelling out the money. 

A company would be punished by the feds and/or the market bc of perception.

Winter is always a good time and the perception in the market makes selling tricky but opportunity more present than last few years.
