The new person must complete an application and pass the screening.

I need all the friends I can get since I currently only know one person (who I don't really know).

Note, I am not looking for a syndicate to BRRR or rent of some sort.Experience: I have personally bought an old home on a 8,000 sq ft lot, rezoned it to two 4,000 sq ft lots with a family member.

@Steffany Boldrini As a lesson to other people hiring interior decorators online, can you please tell everyone what caution flags should have told you not to hire this person?

It is regulated and you need to learn the law before accepting any funds from another entity (person) in a syndication.

I am not sure what type of real estate investing you're considering, but it sounds like, with your family and busy job, you won't have a lot of time to be hands-on or personally involved. 

Not worth it if you have to feed the thing.But again, what are your personal goals to investing.

You should get these things for all applicants:1. rental application with employment reference and personal reference2. credit3. past landlord reference4. check for eviction historyMost apps like RentSpree include all this in what the tenant pays to send you a report.I cosigned for my daughter and her boyfriend on their first lease.

I love finding VA Assumption Loan deals and have personally secured one so far as a rental property with a 3.3% interest rate. 

My expertise is deal analysis, buy and hole strategy (creative financing) and personal finance.
