Look at all the experienced syndicators that have lost money over the last 2 years.  

This will affect things like required down payment, rates, and even which lending institutions would be willing to finance. i encourage you to look up warrantability for financing just so that you don't have surprisses when your 20% down buyer cannot finance that way.

Jay thanks for the tip, it helped in searching and learning about "lead generators" in the fine print in lending and what means.

After 45 + years as a real estate investor, broker, lender, fund manager and syndicator, I’ve become aware that the “dream” of many investors and investor “hopefuls” is to be able to generate enough cash flow to live off their real estate holdings and accumulate enough wealth to make “work” optional.

But if you are looking for the most passive way for investing in real estate, you would want to consider a REIT, TIC, or some kind of syndication.

Quote from @Rory Darcy: Hi guys my name is rory, pretty new to this im an out of state investor residing in new york, looking to invest in wisconsin and illinois, currently looking to build my portfolio around multi family duplexes or single family residencies, would be great to connect with like minded investors or agents who can lend a hand.Rookie investors should not invest out of state.

Quote from @Anthony Stephenson: Is Raisemasters more for rehabbers wanting more/cheaper access to money OR is is geared more towards those wanting to build a lending business? 

Wind stone Private Lending?

Loan Origination Systems (LOS): What works best for mortgage and private lending?

I would highly recommend looking into syndications!
