Quote from @Dominic Mazzarella: I would ask this, when raising capital for a real estate syndication, what strategies have you found most effective for building trust and credibility with first-time passive investors?

Aside from building trust and relationships, knowing what your investors are looking for and generating leads....I think the most important thing is getting your number right.

If they refuse or seem evasive, consider it a red flag.Financial transactions require trust, and unfortunately, my experience with Century Key Capital has shown me that borrowers must stay vigilant to protect themselves from hidden costs.

@Michael Martin I'd recommend our official SDIRA partner, Equity Trust.

Get a trusted contractor to go through the walkthrough with you. 

If your gut is throwing you off I would trust that.

Private money (like true private money) may not be a bad play either, just make sure you trust the individual you're working with. lots of scammers out there. 

In your case you've got to weigh the cost of the cost seg and benefit of the depreciation deferral vs simply paying the tax on the difference.Many of our clients will use Delaware Statutory Trusts to round out their exchange in situations like this. 

😂😂😂I trust that this will motivate you to pursue your aspirations, establish objectives, and dominate the field of syndication

Many clients will find it hard to trust a younger person with this big of a decision.
