We study it, understand it, respect it and learn what players have done with it. 

I see your post as an invitation, an invitation to ask you for more details if it becomes something i think i may need in my arsenal of knowledge.

Then network, ask around, and eventually you'll know who the players are.

Baltimore is a cash-player town for most of the rentals.  

Hook up with other people doing big deals and learn from them......Jake and Gino have a great group to hook up with for bigger players. or start small and learn a few times before you go buy a larger complex that has a full staff to manage it.

In my opinion a correctly setup whole life policy should be part of everyone's financial arsenal because of the security, flexibility, protection and freedom it provides.

With syndications you guys get to be a part of a bigger party and while it takes away a bit of the drive your own ship independence, it also puts you in partnership with some experienced market players. 

The big players quickly work themselves into alternative investments that are still RE but not the same things that everyone gets gooey eyed over.  

@Sedrick King if you're willing to full time cold call leads with our team and learn how to be a player in the game, I'd be happy to talk.

There are some very strong players in this post.
