Requirements for investing in multi-family syndications

[Gavin Tam]

Hi all and thanks in advance for your insights. 

I'm new to REI and after spending some time examining the many investment options , I found myself back at multi-family. I'm interested in making my first investment but without much experience I think investing in a syndication seems to be the better way to start. I have a sense of how to find the sponsors that do the deals, but wanted to ask if there any general requirements for investing in a syndication? For example, do I have to be an accredited investor?

What else should I be considering? How much should I invest in my first deal (ie, what are the minimums)?
