I eventually got inundated with emails from these various web-sites and stopped reading everything they sent to me.

They tend to be the ones posting religiously on linkedin the benefits of garbage investment strategies in order to continually feed their business and have poorly drafted operating agreements often with side letters that are really  only necessary to hide from their lenders where their capital is coming from. 

In your meantime, you can read Best Ever Syndication Book by Joe Fairless (this is a good guide to syndications from the GP standpoint).

Read "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing" by David Greene for starters.

I continue to see new platforms promise ease of use, lightning-fast approvals, and streamlined processes.

You can also search Google and read reviews.

Jay thanks for the tip, it helped in searching and learning about "lead generators" in the fine print in lending and what means.

The properties here are cash flowing, and appreciation has been over 10% and will likely continue due to the Micron project.

This could easily cost you $10’s of thousands if you plan to stay in the home 5+ years when you return. 

But thanks for the tip.
