That was mostly horrible investment advice looking back and on BP we can.

I'm someone who invests extensively in both old-school syndications and crowdfunding and here's mine:1) In my opinion, both old-school syndications and crowdfunding are exactly the same, in that there are a small number of very good sponsors, a small number of horrible ones, and most are just so-so and in between.

Here's an example: a local 3 family - in horrible condition - needing all systems, gut renovation - roof, windows, siding, can cost less than $100K, let's say $70K.

My credit score came back at 696 which isnt horrible.

Hey all,Would love to hear your take on this one.In my current situation, I have the money for a down payment and I can get financing and buy another property(this one will be number 3).Now, if I buy another property, I will have almost nothing in reserves, meaning that in a time of a horrible situation or whatever, I will not have a cushion to rely on.  

We not only lost our hard-earned money but on top of everything, our health suffered, I had several sleepless nights due to the stress and anxiety that this horrible experience created for my wife and me.After the buy-back was completed, I approached Maverick to at least help us with our losses by requesting us to give back ~$6000.

 $2000 isn't horrible but I would shop around.  

With management fee included gives a cash on cash return of NEGATIVE -2.8%. (3.1% without the management fee).The above to me sounds like a horrible investment, yet I see soooo many houses listed for sale and soooo many homes for rent.

I've been shopping around for a while but it seems everything on the MLS is overvalued or the properties are in horrible condition.

I personally had a horrible experience with 3 different management companies which led me to start my own company. http://www.jmbgrouppm.com/blog/item/23-questions-to-ask-a-property-manager.html
