I am smart and know when the ship of the industry is sinking or taking on water.

But, if they don't have some sort of formal training/experience within the industry hiring them is a terrible idea (from what I've heard).Just to put this into perspective, all of our bookkeepers are U.S.

I have tried to find potential syndicators by literally tracking down who bought apartments that I see clearly have new owners... but in each case, to date, the new owner appears to not be open to outside investors (and so far no local outfits), so that's not working out.Kurt, due to my industry expertise, I have a very wide network, and work with hundreds of syndicators nationwide.

If accepted then you gotta hope your financing doesn't take too long or fall apart altogether, and then you have to pray your contractor does a swell job cause that is about as good as a coin flip, and then you need to make a wish that your exit is one timely and two at the price you suspected.Bottom line is, it is hard to set up a network built with pieces from 3 - 4 different verticals within the industry. 

It is just the industry and honestly people in general they do not know how to budget or make there money last. ( Isn't it something like 60-70% of people live paycheck to paycheck?)

The new owner bought the house after I purchased my land, and he might not be aware of these encroachments.Is there any risk for me, such as the possibility of acquisitive prescription of a part of my real estate after years, especially if (theoretically) the neighbor incurs considerable expenses for e.g. asphalting his driveway? 

The heirs can choose to hold their shares and receive dividends or sell them.Passive: Allows investors to trade an actively managed real estate asset for a passive investment in an Operating Company that is typically run by an institutional asset management firm.Consistent Income: Operating Partnerships can issue dividends or distributions so that the investor has cash flow.Portfolio Diversification: Enables the investor to achieve diversification across geography, industry, tenant and asset class in an Operating Partnership structure.

The agent I normally use is leaving the industry but I’ve gotten recs for Lisa Arrison and Noah Taxman.

NOT an industry norm and a sign they don't really know what they are doing as this opens them to several liability issues.
