But I want them to be organic rather than paid for.

Aside from that, I think you need to know how to manage your rental income and expenses and be organized with that part since you'll need it at tax time.

The founder also has Infinity Investing which offers similar.Are there other competing organizations out there?

So my question is, how easy is it to get rent rates increased through an organization like United Way

I am very organized and have been keeping very good track of my expenses for the home so I will end up knowing my EXACT loss if it should happen.

Can you guys give me some advise on how to organize a business and what essential entities do I need in my team in order to succeed?

The best part I think is the lease is with the organization , not the individual residents. 

If you invest in a syndication as an individual that is organized as an LLC, and you are a limited partner (LP) the stake you are taking in the LLC is already its' own measure of asset protection since you are limited from most forms of liability tied to the LLC.

There are many paid mentorship programs out there, but you could also start attending more local meetups to see if you can build some organic relationships that way. 

I am happy to organize the monthly meetings in the beginning but would be leaning on others to assist as time goes on.
