As a sponsor, what investors don’t realize is when you allow investors to invest $100 r $1000 in an investment that fund is losing money on that investor - why?

I decided that now is the time to finally jump in after realizing that all the okay houses I've passed on over the years would be great if I could buy them at the same price/rate today.

You realize it’s not easy to raise capital for larger syndications in small amounts.

Due to the nature of a fund model, the projections we shared with our investors, changes in the post-pandemic market, and the fact that a significant portion of the returns to our shareholders are realized as the facilities become stabilized and begin to churn out cash, high cash-on-cash returns during the first year of this fund – designed to acquire troubled, turn around assets – did not result.

After doing it for 7 months I realized that the problem wasn't my approach or the letter itself it was more the competition in my market.

I realized that photos are too big and make the post look crappy, so I will link the before (Zillow) pictures and then the After (Airbnb) links!  

What they tend to realize after the fact though is the higher payments are now mandatory and the monthly cashflow is cut so that you're mainly relying on equity which although likely isn't always guaranteed. 

However, the seller decided to hold off on accepting my offer since the property had only been on the market for 7 days and they wanted to entertain other offers.This experience made me realize the importance of paying attention to the number of days a property has been on the market.

I have an IT career, but like some others, I'm looking at economics these days and realizing that I need to make a change to get to where I want to be. 

Focus your attention on creating equity that can be realized through a sale, that's the winning formula.
