    I work out in Strathmore maybe two times a month with work and that place is great. Friendly people, easy access to everything. It is going to be the place to be for folks who want to get out of Calgary as it grows.

    How did this end up working out for you guys who invested? I considered this but then decided not too. Now I'm thinking about a similar investment opportunity but I'm curious for some feedback on how this one worked out for people.

    Pretty sure max_boost said somewhere that he still hasn't seen his money back... Can't find the thread though

    There is a brand new development that just broke ground on the eastern edge of town

    This is the first new project given the green light since Strathmore got on City water in 2010 ish.

    The old water system could not handle any new development or growth, so many projects were shelved untill the new water system was in full swing.

    Nope. Nothing yet for the Wild Flower Ranch project but homie ZorroAMG has assured me, it's all good. lol I hope so!

    Anyway, I actually haven't driven by that project but AFAIK it's there for sure. But long story short, I guess people aren't moving to Strathmore? People aren't buying that development?

    Anyway, my initial investment was $10K.

    8% bond/5years. So I've paid taxes on that $800/year T5 but without actually seeing any money in my pocket.

    At the time, I was told my $10K ------ > $23K at the end of 5 years if things went well.

    At this point, I be happy with my $10K back. haha

    So since you are paying taxes you are receiving the interest payments? I'm a little confused. If you aren't receiving payments why would you be paying taxes?

    Haha I dunno Roopi.

    No money paid out. But definitely declared $800/year in investment income.

    As of right now I believe I am owed $10k. Plus 4000 in interest. That $14k is being converted to trust units. Whatever that means lol hope for the best haha

    If you go back and read the thread again it sounded like a snake oil sales pitch right from the start. Questions asked but lots of run around answers. Only reason a conventional bank wasn't used is because banks have all the resources to do the due diligence properly....guess what that means. Real estate syndication is the biggest scam out there. Look at Concrete, Platinum, Harvest and all the rest. Same shit different pile.

    Exactly you could've used that money on another rental and made a crap load more. But you choose this because you thought it will be a sure win with your homie. But there is a Chinese proverb only eat those you know.

    I would be breaking kneecaps if I was in max_boost's position. You got scammed hard for sure and I bet the salesman is just laughing away in his Mercedes and 500k home bought with scammed $$. No better than someone mugging you on the street.

    If you have a 27%/year guaranteed investment opportunity, you don't need to go looking for $10k investments on a car forum
