Establish a relationship with them, but more importantly, do not ruin your reputation by not "Being in the know" ...Make sure you are sophisticated or accredited and get educated first. 

He or she will have a lot of good advice on how to structure it.I'm actually a lawyer myself, with 12 years of practice on 9-figure and 10-figure cases, so I consider myself pretty legally sophisticated.  

Right now I’m saving for a car so i can get on a payroll to help fund my future plans.

Not even the most sophisticated investors are able to time the market correctly.

That's reserved for sophisticated lenders like us (bwahaha).Just kidding.If you guys don't know what that is - it's generating cash from the note so you can do it again.

While I don't disagree entirely, curious to hear your thoughts:Generally whether a PPM is required or not depends on 1) which exemption is being used 2) type of issuer 3) number of investors 4) level of sophistication of investors 5) amount of money being raised & 6) complexity and terms of the offering.No PPM is "required" for offerings of <$5MI am not a lawyer so would be happy to have one chime in :)Regarding the Cost Seg, I have worked with and seen many studies on behalf of clients in addition to the cost benefit of such studies. 

Listen to multifamily podcasts as some of the producers are syndicators who provide a lot of very good educational content.If the offering is structured as a Reg D 506b syndication then up to 35 sophisticated (non-accredited) investors can invest.

Notice how many SUCCESSFUL RE investors have joined the BP payroll.

Our tenants either do payroll deduction from their paycheck or deposit directly into our bank.Just keep in mind you'll need to have an EIN, LLC articles, and an operating agreement to open a business account...banking laws...Good luck

It's not hard to invest in syndications as non-accredited & sophisticated, it just takes a few extra steps to stay in compliance.
