You can also find real estate investing groups through meetup.com, Facebook, or a Google search.

Whether you've lent money for an individual project, or you've invested in some sort of fund / group, I'd like to hear about your experience! 

@Isaac Watson join the WAREI Facebook group.

If you do choose to invest out of state, the best advice I could give you based on what I have observed running a local real estate group here for over a decade is build your own team.

I'm excited to join this group of like-minded individuals passionate about real estate investing. 

I also saw your post on one of the local Buffalo facebook forums, and will caution you that you are going to get a WIDE variety of feedback from a WIDE variety of investors -- especially on that group! 

With commercial office space starting to return, I am interested in establishing a syndication group that would be willing to invest capital into commercial office buildings.

I wanted to take a moment to thank those of you who have already reached out or engaged with me since I joined this group.

TIC in this case is virtually synonymous with coop.finance items- There are several ways to finance TICs – group loans and fractional loans are the most common. - Fractional TIC loan: you can now own a unit in a building that isn’t classified as a condominium, yet from a financing perspective, will feel that way.

This group is full of knowledgeable people, though you may sometimes get conflicting advice.
