How do you feel about collecting rents in Oakland at night?

Prices may seem high in markets like ours, but if the source cities are higher-priced, then those inbound buyers likely feel different.

Sorry to hear about this and it's definitely important to watch out for Ponzi schemes.At the same time: many syndications require an investor to sign an NDA to protect their confidential techniques, sources, customer lists etc. from competitors who could damage them otherwise.

After reading Kiyosaki and a ton of others I feel a hybrid and a mix would be most beneficial on a monthly basis for what I'm looking for.

However, even at a "typical" Cap Rate, you need to do the homework to understand if a property is a good price or not.Agreed, I think CAP Rates make inexperienced investors feel experienced until they get in trouble.

As long as they have gone through your screening process the same way and you feel comfortable, you should be fine in either case.
