There was one instance discussed in the forums with a syndicator called Norada (you can search the forums for that name) where they not only stopped paying dividends, but also converted everyone’s capital to an equity position - which is code for “We don’t plan to give your money back unless we can survive to eventually sell the building.”  

Plan to eventually cash out refinance with conventional loan in 12 months, but looking to get out of my hard money situation to save on holding costs.

Add on top of that any maintenance issues that pop up (and they will eventually).

Building Equity: Part of your rent can contribute to the eventual purchase, helping you accumulate equity.Cons: Risk of Losing Money: If you decide not to buy at the end of the lease, you might lose the option fee and any rent premiums.

It is becoming extremely unsightly as they continue to build and will eventually bring tourism/desirability down (in my opinion).  

This is a single family home and was originally a primary residence before turning it into an long-term rental.Some strategies I'm considering to grow my portfolio are using a HELOC/1039 tax exchange to purchase a second investment property/multi-family property or refinancing my current investment property into a conventional loan to utilize another FHA loan for a primary residence (with the idea of eventually turning that into another long-term rental).I currently have a 7% interest rate, and am considering refinancing in the coming months if/when the rates drop.

All cost seg companies will eventually point you back to having that conversation with your accountant, so starting at the accountant level is going to save you time

It took a while but I eventually learned that this is not a get rich quick game and that the online folks trying to sell their books or services were doing just that. 

At least by reporting issues to the City, if the owner/tenant doesn't eventually habdle them, the City may intervene to correct some of the issues.

Did you eventually get a section 8 tenant from that website?
