I want to hear some stories on how other people got started and how easy/difficult it was.

I feel like I have a strong grasp of the general knowledge needed for a first property, but I’d love to hear something different.

Hey BP community,I was doing research about getting involved in real estate syndication as a passive investor and I came across a website called iintoo (link below). https://epiic.iintoo.com/?utm_source=google&utm...

Latest is prop 33.  3rd attempt to pass this with aids health foundation having spent mid $40m last I looked.  

Each grouping had a common room (perhaps it was shared by multiple groupings ... this was a detail I missed) with a nurses/aid workers office.Central to the two sides of the complex were common facilities such as a dining hall, gym {perhaps a pool ... another detail I missed}, theatre &  games room.With one of the fastest growing groups in our society being single people, we are examining a related idea of a  complex / building providing a modest-sized 1-bdroom "apartment" with more semi-private and common amenities.When I read the title to your thread, I thought it was a project proposing to mix students and seniors into a single complex ... and came in thinking, this ought to be interesting :-) 

Offer aid and housing options if you're able -- don't try to profit. 

If I donated to the aids health foundation expecting it to go to aids care or research, I would be very disappointed with this use of the money. 

The judge asked if we had negotiated and I said I had offered him the opportunity to just leave, which he declined.Anyway, he has set aside a whole hour for the hearing, so I can only imagine what a pain it will be. 

They were already $75 billion in the red (IIRC) and now this....Even with Federal money, the state is going to have to chip in a lot of $$$ and they just don't have it.e) I saw US Senators this am on TV promising to assist with aid to CA, but ONLY if CA changes it's policies towards, water acquisition and Forestry Mgmt.

Many fail because of the real estate as the section 8 program is nothing more than a band-aid fix that's rarely sustainable.
