Popular and well respected multi-family syndication groups?

[Grant Gibson]

I am looking to be a passive investor in a multi-family syndication. Who are some popular and well respected groups that others have used or know about that I can research or get to know?

Every investor has a different risk tolerance and financial situation. So in my opinion popularity isn't necessarily a good way of judging, because something that's very popular among aggressive investors is probably going to be a horrible choice for a conservative investor and vice versa.

Also everyone has their own way of looking at deals. As a conservative investor I believe we are late in the cycle and I don't want to newbie sponsor learning expensive lessons with my money. So I require all of my sponsors at this stage to have at least full real estate cycle experience with little or no investor money lost (and the more cycles the better). There is one that I really like that has gone through multiple cycles with no investor money lost. They also use conservative leverage, and put huge skin in the game in every deal (10% or more). They operate under 506B and cannot publicly solicit. So if you'd like more info on them PM me.
