What would you suggest is my next step?

[Vincenz DeCastro]

I'm currently in the slow but steady process of approaching my first deal. Looking to purchase and reposition an apartment complex via syndication as my first deal. As of this moment, I am making progress across several short term goals simultaneously:

- analyzing deals I receive from brokers regularly. 

- securing financing via my network. Any suggestions on syndication deal calculators (which would also help with my presentation in raising money)?

- speaking with various local lenders about commercial loan packages 

- initial discussion w/in the next couple of weeks with a real estate attorney about the process and possible entity formation. If not now, when should I be thinking about forming an LLC?

- persistently learning via multiple sources including books, podcast, REI meetups, etc.

From this quick overview, any suggestions on what I should be doing now/next to achieve my longterm goal? Thanks in advance for the helpful responses!
