Unfortunately the things that Lonnie did back in his day were great money makers but have been all but made obsolete in this under the microscope predatory lending world that we live in.

Hello DerekAre you still lending?

I need to continue to pursue cash flow but would very much like to be in a more remote position to spend time on the lending side because being a realtor and appraiser is limiting in a local geographic sense. 

I really want to get into syndication deals (as syndicators).

If you ever plan on doing this later in your days, you could always do a management company and just expand on that, but I can tell you from my own perspective  that LLC – S and being W2 employee under that may limit some of your lending aspects, but it protects you around the world anywhere you go further if it comes to it, you can bankrupt your company, sell the assets and open another company the same way and you’re still protected through and through. as my wife is a high earner, it really protects her from civil suits and other things like that or anybody that ever comes to maliciously take what is yours.

If you haven't done private lending on your own yet, I highly suggest you read my book Lend to Live: Earn Hassle-free Income in Real Estate with Private Money Lending.

Purchase price: $1,100,000 7 unit single story apartment complex.This is a Syndicated deal that we are General Partners and Co-Sponsors in.The units are 1 bedroom 1bath.

Well if you know of any syndications let me know..

People often confuse hard money, NonQM, bridge, fix and flip, PML and other forms of lending as one umbrella of PML. 

There are lending specialist (also private lenders) who will lend you funds for EMD etc for short-term only.
