@Miki SheinaizenI recommend finding local meetups to attend. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521I have found all of my best connections at local meetups.For your BRRRR strategy, partnering with a local property manager and connecting with contractors early on can help streamline your rehab process, especially if you’re not local.

I think Chris makes a good point of determining the strategy - performing 1st position notes is always a safe "dipping toes in the water" type of note to go with. 

Great tools that get updated regularly.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.We are all here to help you learn and grow.

Regardless, my strategy was to live in the basement and rent out the bedrooms on the 2nd floor.

My strategy is house hacking /buy and hold.

The strategy is simple.

As an accredited investor you have access to hundreds of new potential syndications every month (and crowdfunding deals which are the same thing except are allowed to market on the Internet).You may want to start off on a site like CrowdStreet or FinResi , where you can view the variety ( different types of asset classes, strategies, stances) and start to come up with your own method for looking at deals (which matches your unique, personal  risk tolerance, financial situation and financial goals).Thanks Ian.

Additionally, a fund allows for diversifying much quicker into a larger number of notes (and which also can be further diversified by geography, underlying real estate asset type, strategy etc.)The downside is that the investor has to feel comfortable vetting sponsors (and not everyone does).

Overall I would recommend talking to other investors or professionals  familiar with the strategy and having a solid system for tracking material participation.
