But, it might be good to take a beat.The best thing might end up being trying to network with other, more experienced, local investors by letting them know about this deal and asking for nothing in return.

Markets that are growing in population, jobs, rents, and income - leveraging both demographic and economic fundamentals - all helpful risk mitigation factors- working with syndicators who've either experienced or witnessed deals go south - syndicators who are savvy enough to be conservative in their projections, set aside reserves, have created realistic sensitivity analyses, have good banking relationships in place - investing with these types of syndicators, with a track record through ups and downs, helps to decrease risk.
