I've seen "Real Estate Reports" created by LPS Data Services and.....ProTitle USA. 

Here's a link in the BP store, but it made a great audiobook.It may also be helpful if you read Start Your Own Corporation by Garrett Sutton to understand the basics of all cooperation structures (LLCs, S-corps, C-corps, LPs, Ps).

This allowed me to meet a lot of GPs and LPs from all across the country.Deals are out there!  

However, when I couldn't find any financial information in my investor portal other than a K1 showing a large loss,  I was told "the sponsor doesn't like to share financial data with LPs"?? 

From the perspective of a GP, to know someone would be to under the LPs background, their investment goals, their financial situation, and whether it is a match for what I am doing.

They are high energy dogs, and they are very smart too-- so they need mental stimulation.  

In LLC's, however, there is no LP and GP, there are Members and Managers / Managing Members, but passive investors investing in LLCs are still referred to as LPs.

If distributions are considered return OF capital, then LP capital account is reduced and pref payments reduced accordingly.I repeat this is a very complex issue and all the details of the deal matter.In general, I would say return ON is a better arrangement for the LPs and logically there worse for GPs. 

Most syndications already have a multi-tiered limited-liability structure for LPs; I say it's not worth the paperwork or fees. 

The focus on investing was following the syndication model, in which the audience learned how to be a part of the GP team and we were taught on how to look for the appropriate LPs.
