Kyle,Absolutely agree that if the relationships you have built are around the experience and expertise you currently have and you say you MUST start now w/these folks, then you will gain a lot of experiences in the syndication game that will carry over to any niche for sure.  

Paying someone for their expertise and experience is a very inexpensive way to ensure you can get to where you want to go.  

Thanks for your time and expertise.

Tapping into our own and our networks' expertise, consider holding seminar(s), online and/or in person to provide information on things like:-  involving our favorite real estate agents to give people general guidance on:-  where/how to find long-term temporary housing or purchase a new home, and what they can do with lots they may not want to rebuild on-  how to know what fair market value is right now for purchases-  providing guidance on how to watch out for the scavengers that may surface. 

Bring something of value to the table and trade for their expertise, but be carful to get it all in writing and choose the right group.A place to start anyway.
