Land in the path of progress  carefully chosen Timber or AG tracts etc etc.. so there is many ways to slice the real estate orange up.. end of the day though the true measure is IRR not COC .. that is if your ever going to stop being a landlord..

Stay in the game and you'll get your slice of the action for sure.

But there are so many way to slice it you end up with a lot of variety among brokerages. 

Rent rooms.The concepts of renting by the slice is a money maker.

What we find, however, is that a lot of folks do not really qualify, but have been swayed by their reading on the internet that the Solo 401k is the best things since sliced bread and really want to go that way.  

It would be interesting to see an investor do the split investment method of taking 50k and buying a property like this all cash and then taking another 50k and investing to own a small slice in a higher quality sponsored project.

And all those little slices lead you to succumb to reducing this one and then that one until you're down to some ridiculously small percentage.

Not based on merits.. track record is critical to raising capital and with out one.. pretty tough 6.8 cap is OK I suspect the folks your talking to.. probably think they just do it themselves what value do you bring other than you bird dogged the deal.I know syndication is kind of soup de jour but its  a very very tough thing to do starting out.. really tough.. maybe a high breed is something you want to do.. refer the deal on an you take a slice so you get something for doing it.other wise you need to have your own cash.. take it down then back fill with investors..

A lot of experience on this thread, and I thank each of you for taking the time to give this newbie a slice of your wisdom.Knowing my experience level, and with your feedback, I think it is the safest bet for me to avoid wholesaling and wholesalers all together, at least for now until I have more experience under my belt.Thanks again!

Of course, we weren't told about this little slice of heaven a priori.
