Given your previous career, your goals, and wanting to diversify your investments, I'm wondering if you might find value in the PassivePockets community, it's a community with private forum dedicated to passive investing in syndications.

They will lend you their IRA money.My friends and family lend me 100% of the purchase price AND rehab money.

For lending, your rates are going to be higher than if you were to buy under personal name.

I work for a syndication firm and we've been getting our deals from brokers, but since it's the start of the new year.

A lot of forum members are experts in their respective fields related to real estate investing, whether that is real estate sales, wholesaling, flipping, buy and hold investing, lending, self-directed IRA and Solo 401k investing, or tax and legal guidance.There are some pretty nice discounts on many products and services offered as Perks to BP members that you might want to check out: https://www.biggerpockets.com/perks/proIf you haven’t been to it already, the Bigger Pockets blog features links to their fantastic podcast and many great articles: https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/The site has quite a few tools that can be helpful for new members.

sounds like someone got a nasty gram.. we see this with the syndicators that are called out then threaten the investor who called them out.. or anyone else companing about a service only to have the company either threaten or tell them if you take this down or retract we will give you your money back.. kind of like landlords lying about how great their dead beat tenant is to just get them to move on to the next landlord. 

I have some who will simply lend 100% of PP and 100% of Rehab  up to 70-75% of ARV in parts of the midwest and SE - feel free to shoot me a DM and we can discuss!

I do 30% traditional (roughly split 50/50 stocks and bonds), 30% owned real estate and 30% non traditional (loans, syndications, PPM funds etc).
