I was also contacted by Jeremy. I've contacted NV through their mortgage division's website. of course I didn't provide any information to them or any funds. I'm new, just not THAT new.

I'm only 27... yet I feel the urge to say "back in my day" we didn't have make believe fairytale lands selling fairytale land (pun intended) for real money. 
I'd say it's the same as any online gaming trend.  It will spike, reach a peak then plateau. mild profit throughout the plateau though for those who are dedicated but better profits and more sustainable profits are still in the real world.

Have you thought about making a PowerPoint presentation with just slides or videos and your company logo on each slide? it would be two birds, one stone. free up your time while also establishing a name for yourself. of course use references to others (maybe reference @Sam Wilson's podcast as a way to learn more? I've listened to it before, it's solid). I'd be hesitant on giving money to others to educate your investors. Then again I'm a newbie in syndication so what do I know.

You're going to think this response is useless and not helpful. but if you're going through an expensive and extensive training to learn General Partnership, why don't you teach them? teaching the layman's version of what you do and what they do will help reinforce what you learn and help educate them in an easier than giving them someone else's course to follow. imagine a 30 minute conversation with you vs  an hour going through a slideshow. Is there anyway doing this could also establish your credibility?

The first article is a 2019 post. So I'm hoping they have found a work around by now. the second article appears to be far worse. However, they're already working on fixes so I'd like to think the issues will be worked out before the bill even goes into effect. more than likely they will exempt new buildings (upon realizing all developers are fleeing)  they will also most likely pass the inflation clause so no one is losing money. maybe I'm wrong and maybe they turn into Detroit. but I doubt it.

So, to clarify your NOI is $91,335.00 with a Cap rate of 9%? and you're worried because the appraisal came in at $515k? how is that possible?
