From there, adding discipline will get you to where you want.Instead what you're doing is advertising you have money, no knowledge and are going to have the average BP RE agent(bottom of the barrel quality) come here to promote their services with no regard. 

Is it fairly priced for the size, location, quality, and other factors?

Everything they do is quality.

While I don't object to spending money to do one's due diligence, I don't know if $500 is called for when you can get very high quality syndication groups/meetups/information for free.

We stick to high quality neighborhoods and homes and are doing really well with it.

@Amir PortalRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

The structure will depend on the down payment, quality of borrower, terms of note, your cash out of the note sale needs, and other factors. 

Property TypeUnderstand the different types of multifamily properties:High-Rise: 9+ floors with an elevator, often urban.Mid-Rise: Smaller than high-rise, usually with elevators.Garden-Style: Low-rise apartments in suburban or rural settings.Walk-Up: 4–6 stories without elevators.Manufactured Housing Communities: Mobile home parks where land is leased to homeowners.Special-Purpose Housing:Student Housing: Designed for college students.Senior Housing: Dedicated to older adults.Subsidized Housing: Affordable housing supported by rent and income restrictions.3.

And you get feedback at a level high enough to determine how to proceed. 

I told a lot of people about this and I'm sure it got back to him as people were made aware of his character quality.
