Tips on Syndication Investment for beginner RE investor??

[Paul Cessarini]

I am just getting started with RE investment, have a general concept of it after going through lots of reading. My plan is to eventually get into triplex/multi unit investment, but it's going to take some time. Recently I came across a Syndication deal which has a potential of 1% cashflow every month and some profit sharing after the hold period of 5 year. These people are fairly new ( just over 1 year) but have a great investment deals and have studied the market thoroughly based on the slides they send me. I am considering to invest 50% of what I have, so I can have a passive cash flow while I prepare to get started in RE investment on my own. Is it a good strategy? 

Any tips on the syndication investment is greatly appreciated. TIA
