(again I don’t have information in front of me now, but if you look at the description you can see what percent the investor gets versus the sponsor).

Look for a sponsor like a  brokerage to pay for your $500 tuition after 1st transaction. 

But storEdge is just one piece of the larger hardware, software and call-center package that they have put together (including customized programming that they have done on their own).So far I have not found a syndication sponsor that is more innovative at automating facilities and removing manual/human management.

Two significant revenue procedures created a structure that allowed groups of investors to go into a property specifically structured by a sponsor as totally passive tenants in common ownership. 

Unless you are an experienced sponsor/investor then I would stay away from this one.

If you bring in passive investors, you could set it up where the equity gets a base return (say 10%) before splitting profits, then you, as sponsor, would take 40% of the remaining profit and the investors take the other 60% (in addition to their return of investment and preferred return).Depending on Oregon law, you may find an LLC to be better than an LP (or some other structure). 

Louis area whose niche/focus is on investors and are open to sponsoring me once I have passed my exam.

Sponsors of equity investments?

If you find their web site, sponsor companies are often listed. 

I know you look for a sponsoring broker but what then?
