That said, I feel like I'm starting all over again...this post is meant to serve as a friendly reminder that no matter what you're going through, its ok. 

this isn't meant to tear down the idea. in fact I'm 100% in favor of syndications. it's to say raise the return to investors. you want to raise the equity needed for down payment. then promise those investors a set return on their investment and use the property as collateral. dont try to reinvent the wheel with a very dated book. 

@James Hamling This was just meant to be a hypothetical.

I found this bigger pockets from 2021 talk that explains more of what I mean ;t=216s

I need to be clear that my comments here are reflective of my own attitudes toward the question and not meant as REI Nation.  

That investment was meant for long term, which means the current decline of the stock market is not of any concern at the moment.

It was such a coincidence that it kind of felt like it was meant to be, ha.

Formerly it was thought "owner" meant the person who did not pay their taxes. 

Yes, middle class people could have one person stay home and not work for the most part BUT that meant they also did not purchase anywhere near the amount or quality of consumer goods that are purchased today.

I meant that I’m aware that I’m not buying the property for a good deal since it won’t appraise for much more than what I’m under contract for and that it needs roof repairs
