Syndications are very specific, if you have any real estate experience, you may be better off doin your own thing. 

Have you read, "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing" by David Greene?

I am a complete novice at the entire Real Estate game. 

You can contribute by finding deals or managing properties in exchange for a share of the profits.Lease Options: Control properties without owning them by renting with an option to buy, and potentially sublease for profit.Owner Financing: Buy properties directly from sellers willing to finance, bypassing traditional lenders and often requiring less upfront money.REIGs: Join real estate investment groups to pool funds with others for property investments.For a more hands-off approach, investing in turnkey properties in growing markets with minimal upfront investment would be ideal (like in the Southeast and Midwest of the country).

Fixing and flipping real estate has become one of the hottest ways to build wealth.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Are you in an area where land is very valuable leaving you with less to depreciate?

I'm originally from Kentucky and moved to Palm Beach County to pursue real estate full time.
