Late last year I began listening to every Real Estate podcasts I could find and reading everything not nailed down about the real estate investing.

They may even bear a similarity to the language of more experienced folks who use the same tools, but it’s the difference between calmly hammering a nail and wildly waving a hammer.

Take stock into what he is saying, he is 100% hitting the nail on the head here with no intent to belittle you.I believe twice in this thread, you admitted that you are impatient and want it now rather than waiting.

By building and preserving an impeccable reputation, astute investors harness the power of foresight, ensuring that every endeavor is underpinned by trust, credibility, and the unwavering commitment to deliver.In the competitive landscape of multifamily investing the wise investor understands that reputation is the lifeblood that flows through every successful transaction.

@Greg Dickerson hit the nail on the head.

Many tend to think they will pay a low cap rate with a loan today to avoid millions in tax penalties and then they will hopefully have a no to little pre-pay penalty loan and refi in 1 to 2 years when they believe interest rates will fall to preserve their spreads.Buyers not 1031 putting money down with a loan or paying cash want a return more than the bonds they are getting unless the real estate is A quality or better that rarely comes up every decade or so then they want to lock that in as part of the long term portfolio.I make millions doing commercial brokerage so only want to syndicate deals with high equity multiple potential.Brian did a lot of multifamily and then exited so he can sit back and only do deals when he wants to which is important for a quality syndicator.

It is the Board's responsibility to maintain, protect, and preserve the entire project, and that would include to a certain extent, dealing with someone like this.

The rest 90% is index funds, which have appreciated 22% annualized in the last 12 years (with absolutely zero effort).I’m still investing in RE syndications, but real estate investment is a capital preservation strategy for me rather than capital growth.

Hey Zach - I think Doug hit the nail on the head, it really depends on your goals and strategy.
