I have tried to find potential syndicators by literally tracking down who bought apartments that I see clearly have new owners... but in each case, to date, the new owner appears to not be open to outside investors (and so far no local outfits), so that's not working out.Kurt, due to my industry expertise, I have a very wide network, and work with hundreds of syndicators nationwide.

But, if they don't have some sort of formal training/experience within the industry hiring them is a terrible idea (from what I've heard).Just to put this into perspective, all of our bookkeepers are U.S.

About 20 buyers showed up, and one investor made an offer on the spot.

Some points I would be considering:1) The interior painting looks a little low for all the work involved.2) The roof looks like it will need some new sheeting in spots, at least as I can see staining on the ceilings from roof leaks.

The market is showing SOME promising deal but I would appreciate a mentor or friend who wouldn’t mind teaching me how to spot a deal in the numbers.

Networking also plays a vital role; connecting with other investors, real estate agents, and industry experts can provide valuable insights and open doors to new opportunities.

It is just the industry and honestly people in general they do not know how to budget or make there money last. ( Isn't it something like 60-70% of people live paycheck to paycheck?)

Here are a few tips to help you score that first deal:Network: Join local real estate groups and online forums like BiggerPockets to connect with other investors.Find Motivated Sellers: Look for distressed properties and consider sending direct mail to homeowners facing tough situations.Research the Market: Know your area’s property values by analyzing comparable sales using sites like Zillow or Redfin.Craft Compelling Offers: Highlight the benefits of a quick sale to sellers and consider a solid earnest money deposit to show you’re serious.Market Yourself: Use social media to share your journey and post flyers in local spots to attract leads.Stay Persistent: Rejection is part of the process, so learn from it and keep refining your approach.With your big business mindset and hard work, you’ll make it happen!

The heirs can choose to hold their shares and receive dividends or sell them.Passive: Allows investors to trade an actively managed real estate asset for a passive investment in an Operating Company that is typically run by an institutional asset management firm.Consistent Income: Operating Partnerships can issue dividends or distributions so that the investor has cash flow.Portfolio Diversification: Enables the investor to achieve diversification across geography, industry, tenant and asset class in an Operating Partnership structure.

You don't have to commit to an action on the spot.
