Purchase Robert Kiyosaki's book Rich Dad Poor Dad; then look for local Cash Flow Games to participate inI could extend the list to 100 but I think this is a good place for you to start.

I found BP doing some research and I look forward to participating more in the future.

So when you are talking about flip all of the work must be outsourced, you personally can't participate.

I am looking for an individual or firm with experience setting up syndication structures with a focus on maximizing tax savings benefits for high income LPs that are participating in the fund.  

I believe it state specific and only participating lenders.

At the very least, join and be an active participant in your local FB investor groups J Scott also has a great (if a little dated) book on estimating rehab costs in the BP bookstore.You can certainly have a contractor walk properties with you to give you a ballpark idea on costs, but I would not expect them to do it for free.You might consider partnering with another multifamily investor with experience in rehabs.

You could have great tax benefits from the ADU if structured as a true STR (7 days or less, material participation, no substantial services). 

I've stated the following many times in these forums, but it's worth repeating:  Many new investors look to turnkey to get started, as it provides an entry point that requires less hands-on and allows an investor to participate in markets that offer higher returns.

@David PutzThe difference between a non regulated joint venture and a regulated capital raise is if the person being pitched the deal will be a active participant or not.

Real Estate crowdfunding or REIT participation seems to be growing in popularity.
