My wife and I owned, operated and sold five RV Parks; three to individual buyers and two to Blue Metric.

It's certainly possible all of those individuals and others are just working on burnishing their interests so people come to them to buy stuff, but in general if you're anywhere reasonably active here without trying to sell people on investing in you, you're not likely to be a pitchman.  

I encourage you to dive deep into forums, listen to podcasts, and connect with like-minded individuals.

Some of these new age syndicators are raising money in incredibly small amounts and I believe are intentionally pursuing these smaller dollar amounts because of the unsophisticated individual behind those dollars.

It's a great way to expand your real estate business if you can find individuals willing to co-sign.

Could be an individual Member of the LLC.

Purchasing your first property can be nerve-racking so connecting with like minded individuals is a great start.

All programs have LLPAs but that's more so any bank's individual guidelines and overlays to specific product pricing.

Cheaper and can be controlled individually.

I think the thing you have going for you is your religion; you have to know some other folks of your faith and where you can find like-minded individuals.
