 Thank you! This is great feedback. I will add these questions to my notes!

Hey Everyone!

I am in the early stages of starting a company that focuses on acquiring large multifamily assets through JV partnerships and syndications. I am considering paying a mentor or purchasing a training program to help me get this started, but I have some questions for the BP community before I make a big investment.

1. If you have paid a mentor or purchased a training program about syndication in the past, was it worth it? (And what program was it?)

2. What questions should I ask a potential mentor and what research should I do before applying for their program?

I have already spoken with someone who I think I would like to work with, but I want to make sure I am not jumping the gun. If you have had success in syndication after working with a mentor, or if you are a mentor yourself, let's get in touch!

Thank you for the reply! These would be buy-and-hold long-term rentals, preferably built from 1980-present. I'm open to light cosmetic rehabs. 

I would consider MTR if I can connect with a solid operator in the area, but I have no experience with mid-terms myself.

Hey Everyone!

I'm a former Colorado resident, and I want to get back into the market in Denver (and possibly FoCo). I am a multifamily investor, initially looking at 5-10 units, but interested in scaling up quickly. 

If you are an agent, or if you know a solid one, comment or shoot me a message. Let's get in touch. 

Also, I will be looking for contractors, lenders, and PMs soon, so I would appreciate any referrals you have. 

Thank you in advance!

Jacob, I am finishing up my own financial model, and I would love to compare notes. You definitely have more experience than me on this topic, and your model seems more extensive, but I would love to trade ideas. 

@Rhett Streelman, same goes for you! I would love to get more eyes on my UW model if you want to take a look at it, and I would love to see the tool you developed!

Hey guys! I am almost finished building my multifamily UW model, and I would love to get as many eyes on it as possible to check my work before I start using it for real deals. Shoot me a message or comment if you are able to take a look at it!

Am I missing any important data points? Should I add any new functions? Do you think it's ready for action?

Also, once it's complete, I'm more than happy to share it with anyone who is interested.

Thank you in advance!

Thank you for the clarification! For syndications, would those expenses be required for each individual asset? Or would some of these be one-time costs? 

For example, when I put together a second, third, or fourth syndication deal, would I have all of the same setup costs?

Hey everyone!

I am having trouble finding reputable sources of information regarding the costs associated with forming a 506(b) or 506(c) fund. 

If you have done this before, or know someone who has, what costs are associated with the formation of a syndication?

Book recommendations? YouTube video recommendations? Podcast recommendations?

Thank you!

I'm a new investor, and I want to scale to a dozen units in the next couple years, but my biggest constraint is capital. I have professional experience analyzing deals and managing properties, I am new to creative finance and I have trouble keeping consistent deal flow.

What are the best strategies you have used to consistently find seller financed deals both on- and off-market?

 Just hopping in this thread. Can you send me that list, too?
