@Mark G.We tried cold calling and that didn't work too well...with Propstream you just use your search criteria and it will give you a list of prospects to reach out to. 

ANYTHING not pre-approved will not be reimbursed for (unless its an emergency and you cant be reached fast enough)....

And given syndications are a marketing game more than a real estate game, it begins to give you real marketing content to share with the world to help drive new leads for future deals.

If you feel the need for in-person mentorship, reach out to prominent local investors and try and strike a deal to learn from them.

The close date comes and passes without notice despite me reaching out. 

So, you can do a land contract for 12 months, which should allow lender to credit you full value of the land vs the purchase price, but the loan will pay off the land contract, so the lender maintains first lien position.Can't help you with the rest of your question, but you should be able to search for "CPA" here on BP to find experts to reach out to.

You can reach out to me with questions.

It's the overarching reach to pull an entire thread that doesn't come from moderators that is my issue and that goes to the site's focus on new investors way more than experienced.Everything is built to attract revenue and that's smart business.

The odds of default go up significantly for those who have no skin in the game.

In the process of analyzing deals, I reached out a property manager for his fees.
