People have had a horrible experience. 

The light in the unit was awful, I had a blood-red fake leather couch, and I took horrible photos with my cell phone.

That property sold for $820K in that horrible condition.I'll update my post to include an example of format, thanks for the suggestions.

For the ones who did get everything together themselves to file came to us shortly after talking about how horrible of an experience it was and how they would never do it themselves again (lots of wasted time that took them away from making money).

It sounds horrible.

Working horrible job, living horrible, no golden streets of opportunity found.

Rental inspections haven't been horrible.  

That is, then, a horrible return.

So a deal that look great to one investor will look horrible to another and vice versa.

Acquisition is the root of real estate investing - if you can master the systems and processes around that you will have a skill that can be translated to bigger and bigger deals.I'd advise against developing on your own at first - if you find a partner that is knowledgable then go for it.Syndications can be great, they also can be horrible.
