@Evan Renaud I believe fundriser is a website just like crowdstreet, or realtyshares, or realcrowd where they find syndication deals and raise the money for sponsors.

I am in Ocean County and just signed with my broker today, passed the exam a couple weeks ago.Call around because I had numerous broker's who was going to sponsor me to take the class with no obligation to work for them, I don't see how no broker will talk to you when you're taking the course.My course had 25 students and I am pretty sure only about 4 or 5 didn't know where they were going broker wise if they passed the state exam.

Being an individual who owns real estate, has a employer sponsored 401K, and a self-directed IRA, I can tell you my biggest returns have been from real estate.

@Cory Iannacone looking to sponsor value add apartment deals within Harrisburg and surrounding areas via broker pocket listings and text message marketing.

Be sure to vet your sponsors to confirm this.I would say that the benefits of sfh and mfr is that if you are buying it on your own, you are the creator of your own destiny.  

He has a jet and sponsors a Nascar too.

If thats what you need, ask the sponsors for a past investor referral--its going to be biased, but the odds of finding someone in this thread are 0.0001%

Our initial goal is indeed $20,000 per month, not year :)We did a few syndication deals and the experience unfortunately was not good, we did a lot of due diligence on the sponsors before investing in their deals, were promised 20-25% IRR, on one deal we got our capital back with no returns and on the second unfortunately we lost capital.   

My sponsoring broker requires me to do this.
