Truth is, investing in real estate syndications is an extremely risky, rare and exotic investment.

Truthfully, living with someone full-time isn't something either of us intends to do though, lol.Looking at seller financing options too, but need to educate myself on this.

In this example, in 7 years, $1,149 ($1,000 increased at 2%/Yr) will only buy as much as $816 will today.The ugly truth is that no matter how many properties you own in a location where rents do not outpace inflation, you will sooner or later be looking for a job.What causes rents to increase?

Truthfully it isn't rocket science, however checkbook control is not for everybody in the sense that some people feel a piece of mind having a custodian in the middle, despite delays, however short or long and transaction fees, however little or high.

"tell the truth" the best you can in your books.

Maybe my experience is not typical, and I hope so but Bigger Pockets needs more truth on real estate.

That's actually not the truth. 

Truthfully I'm hoping that their preference is the scenario you describe - Low down payment.

The truth is, you did not miss the boat; nobody ever does.

I don’t see how in the heck this is legal, that companies can lie, dishonest, cover the truth.
