Is it possible to salvage this deal?
15 July 2021 | 10 replies
@Michael RayYou are getting a lot of advice to sell from people who likely don't have investments in the Bay Area or other high cost investment areas.First off - if you sell the property - you will likely lose 6%-8% right off the bat through seller commissions and other seller related costs.You would have to buy another property at 6-8% below market just to make up for it right away.Second, you have to determine what the property is appreciating at on an annual basis, while you are not cash-flowing, the value of your asset may be appreciating at a higher level than other asset classes.As much as people are saying they are leaving the bay area, there is little area's around the world with great weather and atmosphere(minus the homelessness issue) as the Bay Area.Cash flow is good as it brings in income but asset appreciation is where true wealth is created.

Tax benefit comparison - direct purchase vs syndication
18 July 2021 | 12 replies
The only difference is whether or not you'd be able to offset against your ordinary income...and that's also assuming your income level is under a certain amount (my apologies if I'm pointing out something you already know).As for syndications, as long as we are talking about equity purchases of commercial property and not debt or some of the other fancy syndications out there like secondary market litigation or insurance, you will have very large passive losses starting from your first year.

The only part I am not sure about if the market will "correct"; I believe it is much more likely that it will level off.The reason I believe that is affordability - the NAR publishes an affordability index; basically how much of a median household incoem is needed to buy a median home with 10% down.
