You should be paid for that.Real estate is about leverage and making your cash on cash return 50% to infinite.  

I just blog about it here @Nick Versettohttp://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/4640/blog_posts/44426-how-i-shifted-my-mind-to-get-infinite-return---and-how-you-can-too

By teaming up with me, they are able to carry around 12 properties each, and move them through the various stages of repair and flip.Since I finance 100% of the purchase and repair price for them, they essentially have zero money vested in the inventory, which equates to an infinite rate of return on their labor-only investment.  

I don't think it is wise to limit who your contacts may become based on if they invest or not.Matt, I understand your point about keeping the best deals for themselves, especially in markets with thin inventory, but there are still markets with enough inventory that a broker can keep all of the good deals for themselves unless they have infinite capital.

You can put a basically put an infinite # of properties under an LLC.

Year 2, cash invested might be pulled from reserves (if you're doing it right) so you actually have an infinite COCR in year two.

Take a look at Infinite Banking via the book Bank on Yourself by Yellen. 

I have 1) saved up over $100k that I am looking to start with, 2) family who are interested in contributing to the right opportunity, 3) a six figure income and 750+ credit score (I understand this is not as important on the multifamily side of things) and 4) a burning desire to make this happen.Knowing that there so many of you out there that are further down the road than I am and have infinitely more experience than I do, I am requesting the assistance of the BP community to help me answer the question "How can I make my first investment in real estate be in multifamily/apartments?"

I am from Okmulgee, OK, previously from Mustang (in my infinite wisdom I decided to sell my house there in '08).

You can't form a Series LLC in MN, but you can use an out of state Series in MN.The Series LLC gives you an infinitely expandable company, that you can create without additional filings, and without additional costs.
