Love B/C to have downside protection, but w/value add approach picked up at relatively good values the ball is in the sponsor's court per say and not relying on the market forces as much.

Sponsors simply look for accredited investors that can partner with them to own large apartment communities.  

I am not sure whether the company services your area, but there is a company called Regal Kitchens in NY that has sponsored some BiggerPockets meetups.

If not you could possibly offer to be a sponsor for it and have your contact info there etc.Check the tax record for each property and cross check that name with the state real estate commission to see if they are licensed.Some subdivisions do not turn over much so you have to watch for that as people want to stay a long time.

memphisinvestorsgroup.com  This is the only local club in the area but there are several smaller sub groups that meet that are sponsored by this club.

Also, I also felt like I was being talked down to by the two running it.80% of the meetings/email blasts were promoting sponsors of the group.  

Mike Reynolds again, I'm not a CPA, but here's how I understand it...After you get laid off, you can roll your company sponsored 401k into your existing IRA, in effect combining the two.Your Roth IRA will remain separate, unless you decide to re-characterize your traditional IRA.

The reason I am trying to setup an LLC to invest under is so#1 I can use an EIN and don't have to send out my SSN to different sponsors#2 it makes it easier to list under my recovcable trust paperwork
