There are a lot of groups out there right now that had made-for-TV track records that will likely not be in business in a couple years.Focus on the experience of the team, how long they have been in the business, how many market cycles they’ve survived, their philosophy on leverage, and how many properties they bought in 2022/2023 (a good answer would be few, a great answer would be none).And do yourself a favor and read The Hands-Off Investor (in the BP bookstore) before you invest a single dollar in a syndication.

When this happens the fancy/complicated entity structure is useless protection-wise.Lots of attorneys out there who will sell you a $10k+ entity structure that doesn't mesh with your operations as you scale your portfolio and team.

Toughest part will be figuring out what market you want to target, what teams to trust and employ to manage your properties for you as I wouldn't recommend trying to manage the property yourself.

I did receive a response from one of his team saying that the valuation and legal was wrapping up and that we should receive a substantive email before the end of the month.

.: @Kyle Collinshello. are you able and willing to travel to AL to build a network, look at properties, and get a team set up? 

Management team has over 20 years experience……..no one has been in any business for more than 2 years3.

Two business days after that I get an email saying they received my info and will pass it along to the "product team" to process the request.Later that day I get another email asking me to verify my identity again. 

Not essential but I've used it for other things and it's really cool when you are building out a new process, design, or work flow with your team as well.  

You say you are new to flipping so maybe consider teaming up with someone more experienced for your first flip to increase your success rate?  

You need to know the Operation team of the Syndication can get it done.
