But after 45 years in the business, I can tell you that my general feeling is that the "Subto Guys" are different from the numerous BS guru/mentorship programs we see out there.  

Modern surveillance technology has saved me on numerous occasions!

KBKG was the first company ever to launch a self service software for properties this small and it has been through IRS audit numerous times.

I would typically consider normal wear and tear, unless there were repeated attempts to mount the TV unsuccessfully, such as missing the studs multiple times, which I have observed on numerous occasions.

And you would only qualify for that if your primary job (where you spend the most hours) is in a real estate field, but also it has to be at a business that you own at least 5% of (so W-2 income typically doesn't qualify). 

Would love to receive any advice and connections in the field as well as share knowledge in my areas of expertise.

Some of the podcasts that I have found to be helpful in finding syndicators include The Real Estate Guys Radio Show, The Passive Wealth Strategy Show, Passive Investing From Left Field, and The Cash Flow Connections Real Estate Podcast.  

A history of past sales can indicate their effectiveness in the field.

Don't hesitate to seek advice from experienced investors or professionals in the field.

In addition to checking out @Jim Pfeifer’s Left Field Investors, I’d recommend you go to Ian Ippolito’s Real Estate Crowdfunding Review and his Private Investor Club.
