At the end of the day, losing $10k is really not a lot in the grand scheme of real estate investing, and given the seeming high volatility of this market ($275k to $220k, presumably in a matter of months), and the generally high monthly cost of HML, I would get out quickly and think of the loss as the cost of education.At least in my area (Cincinnati, OH) I don't see the market dramatically improving even as we get into the spring buying season, and, honestly, I only see mortgage rates continuing to climb for the foreseeable future, taking more and more buyers out of the market.

Those returns will give you some insight into the integrity of the Syndicator, as well as raise red flags of a possible Ponzi scheme taking place with your money.Let’s look at the balance sheet again on the IRS Form 1065.

And then, with every new program manager we get it seems there is a new idea about what color scheme will be better to keep the clients calm so we repaint them walls at least with each New management change that occurs.

Real estate is not a get rich quick scheme or something I would quit my day job for unless you are set up for it.
