Would have lost the deal without her. 

No one ever lost money taking profit.

Any many investors would have lost six, seven, or eight figures of income had they employed the war chest and market timing strategies. 

For comparison, Cornwall has lost quality manufacturing jobs and never really recovered.

We completely regret that decision and realize the opportunity we lost, but at that time, we never considered real estate investment.

Hey @Reilly Kushnir I'm going to leave a comment so you get bumped to the top of the forums page ;-)looks like your question got lost yesterday, hopefully this will get some answers for ya.Best of luck friend!

Unfortunately the article is a jumbled mess, and if there was a concrete point in there it was certainly lost.

That would be great if true...But if true, it would seem investors would be giving the deal finder money that may be lost without closing on a deal at all - if due diligence finds things that make the deal unworkable.

In fact, you can think of it like this. 90% of the people starting off investing in a real property will still be property owner/investors earning satisfactory returns after 10 years.  90% of the people attempting wholesaling or arbitrage STR will have failed endeavors, lost money, “went broke” or at best earned unsatisfactory returns in the same time period.

Non-DST funds don't offer a 1031 exchange out (as the person has already lost the 1031 protection when investing...so no ability to continue doing so on exit).
