If you are looking for someone to teach you syndication, a common thread is to start a thought leadership platform: podcast, post on LinkedIn, post on BP, create YouTube content.I would say, if you have almost no understanding of what Cap rates are, the basics of underwriting and excel modeling, how to find brokers, etc a mentor can help accelerate your learning.  

Look for local groups or online spots like BiggerPockets, and use social sites like Facebook and LinkedIn.

He looks to be 70 years old on Linkedin.
