So they will see you projections and assume you don't know what you are doing.At the end of the day, if you are going to be a syndicator, you are basically becoming a marketer. 

@Lisa GoodingIf I understand your request you are looking for a flat fee advisor to help you for a one time fee or project based fee while you self direct your account. 

To them, Denver's downright cheap.This is obviously not the sole metric used to project future price appreciation. 

How smaller investors can handle this in the future?

NOI x CAP RATE = purchase price Simple example: $100,000 x 9 = $900,000You can then use pro forma numbers say after you raise rents, fill vacancies etc to project future value if you wanted to sell later on. new NOI x higher cap rate$130,000 x 10 = $1,300,000$130,000 x 11 = $1,430,000and so on.

My first thought is use this time to understand the quality of living that your future tenants will inherent if they rent from you. 

My first investment was a condo, and I wish that I would have either waited to save up more or taken on a project to buy a single family home.

If there is no way to push up future rents, then it may just be an ok deal with a lower than 7.3% rate.

My question is more related to the future, and will there become a point in time like the overseas prince scams where hopefully this is talked about enough for people not to get scammed like this

It's not a perfect system, but past behavior is a great indicator of future behavior.
