How does this play into my home purchase?

If the property you're buying is owner occupied, the investor concentration doesn't come into play because you will improve the investor concentration. 

@Daniel O'Neill Syndication, both as a passive or active investor, is a great investment strategy.

Since they come to play and then leave after season.

I've been listening to plenty of Bigger Pockets podcast and reading a lot of real estate books, all of which have stated or written, "attend REIA meetings or become active in your local REIA".  

I am actively looking for a great place to take the required 90 hours of online or in person classes and to then take the real estate exam.

I did a flip with a fellow investor last year in Berwyn, which is a market I am very active in as a real estate agent and buy and hold investor.

They've posted on here (and on the BBB)saying we rejected their deal when they never even actually submitted a loan application, they've just played around with the tools and the few properties they've plugged in won't qualify.

Consider investing locally either actively or passively before venturing out of state and having to trust someone who may not be what they claim or who is simply looking for a new investor they can take advantage of.
