When you have a VERIFIABLE record of success within specific property types - and typically specific geographical areas, you MAY be able to attract enough passive investment to begin syndicating smaller type deals.  

I got a suggestion for a company called TruFinCo. There's nothing here on BP and no one who I actually know has used them. How does one go about making sure that a company is legit and not just a shell or scam?

And who is verifying information with tax records and the seller, securing disclosure documents, and entering the property into MLS and any showing applications?

.- Syndicator intimidates investor (who just lost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars investing with said syndicator) with legal threat- Terrified LP, already having lost money, now is scared that wealthy syndicator could ruin them, and asks me to remove the forum post discussing the companyWhile I am in no position to verify the truth or falsity of claims made on these forums by LPs or GPs, to me, it seems like a special hell is emerging for investors where the following reality is possible:- Invest tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars with a syndicator- Lose all or most of this investment- Get ghosted/poor communication from sponsor- When they complain or ask for help, get threatened with legal actionI told the person with the original post the following: - Name the syndicator, and I will publicly call them out for their threat, if they confirm who it is.

Also, have you verified if you can lease a home to 8 unrelated individuals?

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

I've verified with the city already.

If a stranger looks you up to verify you’re real, can they find you?

If its a New Western deal though I am extremely dubious .. those require extra due diligence as the deals I see coming from them one needs to verify every aspect of what your being told.

Ensure you have an emergency fund for vacancies or repairs and verify market trends to confirm the investment supports your long-term financial plan.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.
