Same with buying stocks.

I was just in northern Florida looking at condos last week, went to a few open houses all the realtors gave me the stock answer about inventory being low...

The return on equity (ROE) is 9.5%, which is about the same as historical stock marketreturns.

I told him that I only stocked the initial supplies and expected my tenants to do their own shopping thereafter. 

I am opening a business in Mexico city (Hair salon) for my wife so get some short term income, Also I am heavily invested in the US stock market but at this time it is not going no where until we have some rate cuts. 

You may find that the equity is best put into a rental in a different market, more inline with your goals, or maybe it makes more sense to sell and put the money into dividend stocks until the market/s are more favorable to future appreciation, etc.

. :)I couldn't resist.As Jonathan noted, whenever anyone says "I want to invest in syndications" it is opening yourself up to being spammed by every possible capital raiser that lurks on these forums, proven or otherwise.Not being accredited does not stop you from buying property directly (you likely knew this) or from investing in the stock market into various real estate deals.  

If you day-trade or read the tea leaves for hot stock tips or play the ponies or simply put your money in index funds, do any of these things occupy your interest like real estate?

When I was working out numbers for seller financing, I got to the point of giving the owner $315,000 lump sum then taking over the loan at 2000/month however when you do ROI that means you'll get $800/month cashflow at best which is 800*12months for a total of 9600/year CF. if you do 9600/315,000 that means you get a ROI of 3%. which is not nearly as good as stock market. also 315,000 lump sum I do not have :( I need help.

I currently have a CPA (only handles taxes and offers standard tax deductions advice) and a wealth manager at Abacus (handles retirement investments and stocks- IRA, 401K, etc).
