.$1,000 - sponsor as many activities in your local market as you canJust this alone will dominate any local real estate market. 

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.  

They just had the grand opening today for Douglas Park on the North side which Ray Lewis from the Ravens sponsored. 

First TX syndication the sponsor wasn't local.

She said he completed an AA program (because being a heavy drinker at the time impaired his judgment re: the drugs) as well as ae drug treatment program and has been sober since then and can send me his certificate and sponsor's contact info.My application asks if a person has ever been convicted of a felony - the truthful answer from him was actually "no".

I'll admit that none of my sponsors were in real estate before 2012.

I’ve also since gotten into Multifamily and recently syndicated a 124 unit complex as one of the lead sponsors, so I’d like to free up some capital for that as well.

Trust/confidence in the sponsor of the project is the most important part of the deal. 

We send all of our new agents to The CE Shop - https://www.theceshop.com/washington/pre-licensing/wa-broker-pre-licensing-cost - but there are plenty of sponsored classes by the local realtor boards in your area as well.

Lintao, I always advise that people do their research when it comes to sponsors and deals.
