He now has a bad rep as I spread his name to the other players in my market. 

Dominic,You have a lot of questions which is great but the questions demonstrate this is your first REI and having partners can complicate things if not handled correctly. 

Prior, most syndications were structured as a Tenant In Common (TIC) structure for the 1031 exchange investor.As a result, many of the active DST players are either reinvented from the ashes of that crisis, or entirely new.There are some inherent (unanimous voting by all members to make any decisions) reasons why the TIC was replaced by DSTs, but I’ll save you the history lesson.The most useful lesson coming out of the last recession (and I share your perspective on the cyclical pattern coming around the corner ahead) is how different asset classes faired.You can get that data from public filings from REITs, who have to report far more data and intel than OTC private placement investments.Fast forward to the COVID crisis.

If theyre just going to send you a portfolio booklet or send you to a website of all their listings tell them to pound sand.Yes it's vitally important to know who you are working with, and have the history of the players involved.

U either drive the cashiers check to the Trustee and redeem or you have a courier take it there.in Practice when Northwest Trustee in Seattle was the big player we had a Courier drive it up and it helps to be on first name basis with the gals that work for the trustee like we were.

If you are dealing with a local market, you can press harder on them to get things done and show them you are a real player.

Again, maybe this makes sense for bigger players where the time input is worth for their 10 properties.

I'm all about forming a network of go-getters who encourage one another, collaborate, and even pool their resources for interesting joint initiatives.Listen up, my friend: if you truly want to dominate the investing game, you must find your tribe of ambitious go-getters.
