Invest in triplex, quadplex , self manage or invest in apartment syndication deal?

[Deshen Tang]

First some information about me. I'm new imigrant to US and currently live in Dallas. I'm planning to invest 1 million on real estate however I have little knowledge on real estate investing. 

Base on today's economy, is it a good time to invest in syndication or small multifamily and self manage the property? My goal is to generate cash flow, no knowledge on how to increase the NOI, no experience in house flipping, just some cash from inheritance. Happy to connect with a mentor.

Here is my go-to syndicator's list. If anyone can vet for them that would be really appreciated. Or if you have other syndicator recommendation feel free to let me know.

Praxis Capital/Vantage point acquisition/BAM capital/DLP capital/SPI advisory/Disrupt Equity/Elevate commercial investment group

Capital calls are a red flag to me and I heard rumors that SPI advisory and Elevate commercial investment group have capitals in last two years but couldn't confirm this info.

Planning to do three syndicator deal in the next year to deploy all 1 million if I choose this path.
