Doing a syndication is expensive for the first round, that's why it's nice to have a few people you trust to form the LLC with you, and you can try out the process of raising money and meeting investor demands.If you don't have that kind of time, then I recommend investing in someone else's project.

I focus mostly on ocean front, bay front, and sometimes a block or so to the water for year round vacation rentals. 

If they do have solid experience and financing then you can probably get away with a series of draws to them.
