@Steve K. Ummmm your post literally made my heart jump! The man I will be speaking with tomorrow his name is literally “Steve K.” as well. I’m guessing a different last name, but still that definitely threw me for a loop! LOL, wow

Great advice, thank you for taking the time to reply. Much agreed

Honolulu is pretty far from IL, so I am guessing it is not me :)

speaking with more experienced investors, whether they invest with you or not, is always beneficial

I spent an hour talking with one of the main contributors on the forum just last week, and it was great!

good luck, and just enjoy the meeting

see if there is anything you can help him with and see where it goes from there

aloha

ask for advice and to hear about his experiences

see if you can add value to his RE efforts

do not ask him to invest with you, let the process proceed organically...

 the likelihood of than merrill being there is extremely low

like others have said,do not buy any "programs"

@Kyle Phelps congratulations on your new journey! Let me comment on one piece you seem to be hung up and running in circles. They say don't mistake movement for achievement; setting up a multi level entity structure does not make you an investor. Watch this:  Brandon Turner on LLC

 I'd have my first investment property if I could find a loan that 

A: Didn't require most of my operating capital as a down payment

B. Was a smaller loan

I've talked to both of the loan companies that BP recommended me when you click in the "looking for a loan" ad in the forums. The first company would let me print up an approval letter anywhere from 55,000 to 165,000, but they wanted me to put in 30,000 no matter what. Well I need those funds to rehab and have a as a buffer, and personally I'd rather get 2 properties for 40,000 than one for 80k

I guess I'm just not looking into the right type of loans, or need to network and find investors. IDK

 don't buy $40k houses if you are not experienced and live in the area...

I don't know their screennames, but @sumi and @frankie for all the years spent at stankie meetings discussing passive income and real estate investing

@Chris Clothier and @memphis invest for taking care of me all these years

@AAPL for providing the $$$ in my ROTH-IRA so I could convert it to self-directed and invest in RE

@Thomas s (wherever he is) for sucking me into BP because I could not figure out what he meant by "dead equity"

@caleb heimsoth for being one of my first connections on BP

@Michael bishop for helping me diversify my syndication portfolio

@brian burke for providing so much insight into syndications

@mike dymski for being a sounding board and voice of reason

and last but certainly not least, @jay Hinrichs who has seen so much and shares so much...

Following this thread, we are a group of abt 10 doctors/dentists (all good friends) who want to jump into commercial RE with long term goals. Will we need to form a syndicate to start a group?

dentists are doctors

just not real ones...

Hey congrats @Cal Rohrman! Curious, being it's a 42 unit, the numbers still made sense to syndicate? Reason why I ask, for deals that size usually a syndication doesn't make sense because of the fees. We would usually just JV something like that with a few partners involved.s

I thought the same thing

see OP's reply to me above...
