So be careful of that.

But ultimately, any cost to the syndicator is ultimately a cost to the deal, which means that at the end of the day it costs the investor.Investors that can find quality sponsors, and do proper due diligence on them, can save an entire layer of cost by investing directly with those carefully selected sponsors versus investing through crowdfunding portals.Good luck!

Please be careful with your posts.

Quote from @Sean Barnebey: This is an interesting opportunity, and it sounds like you’re approaching it wisely by considering the numbers carefully.

The only thing that I really care about is room on the deal.

Find them at local real estate meetups, but be careful, it's a sketchy business overall.

I don't personally care about checks anymore so that wasn't an important feature for me. 

Higher-quality areas attract tenants who are more reliable and tend to take better care of the property.

Just make sure to vet them carefully and ask for references from past deals and proof of their track record.

This is the list to not invest in without extreme careful attention to detail.Don't go where the masses are going.
