@Joe VilleneuveThis sounds great but how do you choose someone trustworthy of a long term financial relationship out of the blue?

-See this as a long-term game.

I've been on here for quite a while and became knowledgeable in investing, so much that my clients felt 100% comfortable with me regardless of how fresh I was in the game. 

BP is full of syndicators of all experience levels from very to doing their first ones.my only comment is when you go the route of syndication you are now working in the world of HIGHLY regulated government agencies so you need to be on top of your game and prepared for it. 

This way they see you have skin in the game and they are able to immediately benefit from you.

If you were to ask any RE investor they'd probably tell you they wish they'd started sooner, considering you're only 18 puts you way ahead of the game.

Having your finances ready to pull the trigger at a moments notice is half the game.  

My name is Wendell, I am 26 years old and I am brand new to BiggerPockets, already love all the support and information in the community.I just wanted to layout where I am at in my investment journey as well as my initial game plan for really jumping straight into real estate investing.

After being in the game for a while, we can usually sense when something is off before we enter contract.

My suggestion was based on my belief you wanted to step into the game of rentals that your have been working around for years.
