@Eric Hempler sounds like to have more experience in certain areas than the typical newbie syndicator, but there is no substitute for real-world experience.The more visibility/interactions you have on the day-to-day operations side of a sponsor, the less risk for your LPs.

Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books for this or you can learn by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.

Interacting with the agent concerned me because they really didn't have a lot of information about the property to begin with.

I see a lot of posters here who ask for mentors (and to be clear, not saying this is you) that are often ignored because nobody wants to hold someone's hand while they kick tires at every dealership around town and bring no actual value to the interaction.

To the point, I am looking for anyones thoughts on the usefulness of Honeybooks, it sounds like its great software for project management and customer interactions, but doesn't have the accounting capabilities you need to file taxes, and so most people end up Using QuickBooks as well.  

The next step would be to attend local meetups, that's where you'd be able to meet and interact with others that are already doing this locally.

Probably because the seller would have to have to either have a property nobody wants, or be mentally challenged to agree to sell you his property once he learns these facts. (  okay, wholesalers keep telling me that they run into people so scared of human interaction that they don’t want (a) to deal with Realtors (b) potential buyers coming into their house and (c) negotiating price or anything else, and they just want to deal with those wholesaler who are obviously doubling as mental health professionals).
