What can you offer in return?

But returns take out risk.  

But for anyone who just has rental properties that they report on a 1040 tax return (not in a partnership), I would suggest considering rental property management software rather than general accounting software.  

I've looked at a few of their deals now and they're averaging close to 26% cash on cash returns.

If you sold it, what would you do with the money and how does the return compare to what you get now (factoring in the amount of work/stress with each option)?

You could view a sponsor's history and look at the returns shown on their track record, but without context it's meaningless. 

It potentially can be possible if you provide your capital to a fund who operates as a private lender.You would have to be a non-managing member in an LLC or an LP in a Partnership.Therefore, you would have no say in items such as who to lend the money to, at what rates, etc.Best of luck

They make money on every step of the process, and there's a lot of incentive for them to exaggerate what your returns will be.

I went into two of my listings (one with a flexible cancellation policy and one with non-refundable) and it is pretty clear what the terms are BEFORE booking.  

In neighborhoods on the West like Old Brooklyn, Clark Fulton, and West Boulevard, I have seen properties yielding 10% and higher cash-on-cash returns.
