Congrats on deciding to invest, and buckle up for the ride!

Syndications can be great I am personally invested with one Sponsor who is a regular on this site.. you need to be accredited and 100k minimum.... although some do less.you do give up control though.. so for me its only appropriate for a very small slice of my investing portfolio .. one thing with the rentals is you have control completely of them.. you want to sell you sell.you going into a syndication you are along for the ride and have no control the control is all in the hands of the sponsor..  

, but it does seem that you were taken for a ridiculous 75k ride..

I was lucky enough to catch the down in 2011 and now riding the wave up.

When your refinance closes, the title company will pay the required funds directly to your lender.If your lender allows the interest to ride until the refinance, then it will be the same scenario as above, except you won't pay monthly interest, and the payoff will be $107,000 at refinance. (14 months of interest at $500 per month = $7000 + $100,000 original loan) I think you've probably already figured out that, due to the time value of money, waiting until the refinance is a better deal for you, but most lenders will require monthly payments.Keep in mind, it's unlikely that your refinance date hits exactly on the 14 month mark so the exact pay-off amount will be determined by the date your refinance closes.

Walk score, ride bike to work.I am with you there.. find these pockets these gems and help transform them.

I'm just going to let it ride for the next year or two and reevaluate after seeing how rates move.    

I'm not riding through cutting heads off with my battle ax, but in order to protect a profession the public served must be protected from the bad professionals in all industries, that or we can go back to the 12th century.  

I now ride an old boarding cow, but provides consistent milk month after month.  

@Mark FergusonNice rides!
