I'm looking for anything that will get my foot in the door or simply just be some better experience than just reading books and listening to the BP Podcast.I know that the podcast talks about finding someone I can bring value to but I'm feeling kind of lost.

Expenses of creating a syndication are simply expenses.

@Dan Hawker, You need to hold that property long enough to demonstrate that your intent in purchasing it was to hold for productive investment use (not simply to resell). 

It's simply absurd and only results in increase costs for all tenants because of some bad apples.

Anyway, you identify properties that meet your requirements, then track the owner down and simply ask them if they would consider selling.

To open the door, you simply pulled down on the rope and it raised a large wooden "arm" latch inside. 

They will simply get a certain % of return on their investment.

I simply move too fast for banks, and I'm smart with debt, so if I can ride an interest-free credit card balance for 18 months, you bet I will.

Without the existing relationship, I’m wondering if they would be willing to help when you simply cold call new companies.

We can place the property for rent to see what kind of calls you get and interest on it, or simply do research by the typical means to find a rental and see what is renting for in the area and what is on the market.
