You're on the right track though with your question, in other words.... you're starting.

My ability to create spreadsheets and track everything helped me find partners who filled my gaps and to who I could provide concrete value.

Are there any areas on BP, or other sites that I can track that info down?

The track record of the sponsorship team on a real estate syndication investment should be the top thing you look at.Otherwise, cap rate might carry weight in these two arenas:#1 – Is the cap rate comparable to other assets in the area?

It'll likely be your most important decision (outside of the deal itself) so to gain an understanding of track record, history, etc is important.

It sounds like you are on the right track already since you’ve found bigger pockets and are looking into a house hack for your first investment purchase - so kudos you’ve made it further than most!

My advice for new investors is to stay laser focused on developing a strong track record.

At this point the Republicans are just standing by the tracks waiting for the train to derail until they can find an engineer to drive their own train.

In any event, I didn't mean to get us off track in a discussion of non-RE investing.

Anyway, tell me if I am on the right track...
