By that time you will see and learn what a deal sponsor is supposed to do and whether or not this is something you like.I am following this path myself.

I'd like to start looking into identifying a broker that would sponsor me.As I suspect most are in BiggerPockets I'm not looking to work with clients a whole lot.

I plan to regularly attend the JetLending sponsored event every third Wednesday.

There are a number of sponsors.

Legislative Updates & How They Affect Title to Real PropertyThis month 6 Feb our title company sponsor Martin Garcia, Vice President of Texas Secure Title will be speaking with us about the latest legislative updates and their impact to real property.

A 401k plan needs a sponsoring employer, which is a for-profit venture with the possibility to make future contributions to the plan.  

They are high but not that different from the kinds of fees and sponsor split you will see in direct syndications.That said, individual NNN properties are very passive.

By the time you finish the course you will need to have a sponsoring broker, which are the companies you probably know (Raveis, Century21, Remax, etc.)

Here is how the ROBS 401k structure works at a high level.A new C-corporation is established.Corporation sponsors a new 401k/PSP.The IRA/ former employer 401k funds are transferred to a new brokerage account opened for the 401k/PSP.The new Corporation issues stock shares to the 401k/PSP for the benefit of the 401k owner.The 401k participant must be an employee of the Corporation business and he or she may take a reasonable salary.To the extent that the corporation generates profits and elects to distribute those profits to the owners of the business, the percentage of the profits associated with the shares held in the 401k/PSP will flow back to the 401k/PSP brokerage account.

Free event covered by a few sponsors (I hope we get a few more so I'm not footing the whole bill, but I will if that's what it takes to get the ball rolling).You can RSVP here: http://www.meetup.com/real-estate-investing-club/I'm shopping a few locations in Katy, if anyone has any recommendations (to fit up to 200, adequate parking, and enough seats).
