. :)If the agent can also show me their own track record and/or some successful client stories/deals that would lend itself to provide me with a higher confidence in where I was investing and the agent I was using.

Most states have systems in place to track the owners of each parcel, so if you know what county the houses are in you can google " 'blank' county tax assessor 'state name' " and they should have a place to search for the address.

This is a much safer way to go, provided you are lending to flippers who have done 50 homes or more and have a proven track record.Best Regards

Sounds like you're on the right track!

Professionals with decades of experience and very impressive track records do all the heavy lifting for you.

My biggest downfall is I have to admit not always being 100% organized so Im trying to find a good inexpensive software or application to buy to help manage and keep track of my business.

You will need to have a track record of experience and some brand recognition to do a syndication.

Do you have a tracking and itemizing process in place?

If you are, try to work with someone who's got a track record working with investors in small-multi-family or one who is doing these deals for themselves (preferably the latter). 

Keep track of everything, whatever is not covered by insurance is an allowable expense for you at tax time.
