Quick hitters help provide details to passive investors to understand the structure, mindset or process of investing in real estate.

With your focus on many things in today’s world you need to zero in on your reasoning for doing what you do. Your “why” to what makes you tick. Listen to how John uses the “3 F’s & a G” process.

Jay Helms is an active real estate investor. He also is a passive real estate investor. Furthermore, Jay still works his full time job (W2).

Because of time, Jay details why he benefits from doing both. We get into the guts of his passive investments and why he decided down the passive investment path.

Continue to educate yourself and keep learning as much as possible. As far as your investors, keep talking about what you are doing and allow the interest to continue to grow. As you get comfortable you will be teaching them what you learned and getting them comfortable to the process of syndications. If you have invested in a syndication previously, you can show them the model and returns you have received in that investment to build more interest. Friends and family tend to like the idea of following and trusting what you have done or are currently doing. This will be the cultivating process of your investors as you continue to learn. Basically teaching what you are learning and doing. Happy investing!

both ideally but if I had to choose one, experience. 

Most lenders want the GP to provide 5%-10% from the GP side.

Every situation is unique but you need to consult with the likes of @Amy Wan, @Mauricio Rauld and @Kim Lisa Taylor for a good idea of what you are seeking to do. Though you can take all these comments and digest it. You would have to get on a a call with a qualified professional to help walk through your ideal situation and scenario. 

Happy investing!
