It's called "The Hands-Off Investor:  An insider's guide to investing in passive real estate syndications"I'll show new and experienced passive investors how to find and screen syndication sponsors and investment opportunities, along with a healthy dose of advanced real estate investment analysis (so that passive investors can spot when sponsors are manipulating projections).The book is written, and now in round two of editing. 

However you have to be a sophisticated investor and have preexisting relationships with the deal sponsor. 

His H1B visa does not allow him to work any other kind of job/business aside from the company that sponsored him.

Since they copied the idea for the $15 hr minimum wage from Seattle...I wouldn't be surprised if the geniuses on the L.A City council that are over paid ..making $180,000 yr each plus benefits will enact this next.From the article "“Nobody is more safe when people who have criminal backgrounds are unhoused,” said Councilmember Lisa Herbold, chair of the committee and a sponsor of the ordinance with Council President Bruce Harrell.Ok so if Lisa Herbold is so worried about criminals getting housing..I wonder how many criminals she has invited into her home to live with her family...

One of the criteria I generally use when evaluating an investment is to see how many full cycle deals are under the sponsor's belt....especially if the investment began prior to the GFC.

As for ANY "sponsored (= biased) study," always considered the (in)vested interests that ultimately benefit from the rationalized and controlled, "meme."

@John Fedro https://www.kcet.org/shows/city-rising/city-rising... this is on KCET "public television" It's sponsored by  gets funding from California So essentially our taxes are paying this organization who wants to increase government control of private property.... thus upping their control and paying government worker salary.

I have never paid a guru for a course but have gone to meetups and participated in 27 syndications over the past 5 years where I have followed the sponsors progress and learned all kinds of things.

Splits vary with sponsors and amongst states depending on license structure.  

The biggest plus for you is that the properties are put together by a syndicator/sponsor, including the financing.
