So I went from house hunting to listening to BiggerPockets podcast, reading forums/ articles, and now I’m reading my first real estate book “Long distance real estate investing” by David Greene.

The truth of the matter is there’s a ton of uncompensated work that goes in to a syndication and you should be paid.Think about the following:-The amount of time and energy it took to analyze enough deals to finally find a true opportunity -You are qualifying for the loan, providing the risk capital, Liquidity, and a track record-You’ve built essential relationships with Comercial Brokers and property management companies -You’ve negotiated the opportunity at a price that works -You’ve performed the paper and physical due diligence-You’ve built relationships that took time to establish in regards to their other equity partners-The General partners are going to create value and increase the NOI and ultimately the value of the property-You provide a phenomenal alternative investment that has a very unique tax benefits&-You carry all the weight and fiduciary responsibilities I hope this helps you make a strong case and your limited partners walk away with a sense of appreciation verses turned off.Dino

well one is reality.. you spend all the time and energy to raise say 5 million dollars.. and now for nothing more than Hey I need my money back you then have a run on the bank.if the GP had 5 million dollars there is no reason to go out and raise it.. 

I also have more energy than any given 5 people combined.

Instead of continuing to scan the MLS for hours each day, we felt it would be better use of our time to focus our energy on meeting the right people.  

@Dan Bryskin that's a lot of aggressive energy 😂🤣 easy big fella

All that time and energy to put in a low probability play.  

If you're investing significant time and energy into this project it's worth the money to speak with a professional. 

Please explain in great details if you some of you have made that cross over, can it be done at any time or do you need the play the "rich dad poor dad" monopoly 4 green houses then trade up for the red hotel?

Maybe assemble what @David Greene calls the Core Four and start analyzing deals!
