I doubt many are going into credit card debt or if they are that's kind of crazy.. as this part of real estate has no smoke and mirrors generally.And I suspect because most of these folks are doing some sort of PPM and need to deal with accredited investors.. that separates those wanting to start to those who have already had some financial win's or experience and just looking for a new avenue.. 

If you don't then you can be more aggressive in minimizing equity and cash flow.What I've seen over the years is that this debate over style of investing has tended to mirror the life cycle stage of the investor. 

In my view, it closely mirrors the conditions that led to the 2008 crash.

Those are the type in general you should definitely stay away from.We live in a false world where lots of people are selling quackery and smoke and mirrors in the name of making a dollar.Should syndicators know interest rates where going to double n just a few years?

I've searched the forums on this topic but haven't seen a situation that mirrors mine so here we go.  

First complaint I have about the system is there smoke and mirror gray and white disclaimers they almost contradict him selves not with the services alone more of the membership payment etc. 

The product would never come out or even begin being developed, 100% smoke and mirrors.

What you experienced almost mirrors exactly what we went through last year. $10k was about the cost to fix everything the tenant ruined, not to mention the lost rents.

My greatest pain point is not that the deals failed, although that certainly adds salt to the wounds, it's the poor communication, false narratives, chasing (almost begging) for updates, lack of full disclosure, the smoke and mirrors, etc.

You create separate (or series) entities that hold the risky assets, which are themselves held by a holding company that is owned by two distinct legal entities (a single-member LLC is ineffective, and so is anything with two mirror entities such as husband and wife), each having a different class of membership interest and "poison pill" provisions that create tax ramifications for any judgment creditor that wants to attach the membership interest.
