I also like the sponsor, generally speaking, who is going all in with at least a third, and preferably half, of their net worth on the deal or fund.

For all I know you have two daughters getting married and need a bunch of money or they are about to go to college.  

Try not to get overwhelmed as there’s a lot of information on BP and many avenues within real estate investing.When I was starting out, I was interested in so many strategies, but I discovered that I did my best when I focused on one or two and really built my knowledge around them.

You have to separate the two.

When I signed up, there were two different options: Lease, where they pay you fixed amount/mo and arbitrage the difference, and revenue share, where they take a management fee, pass on fixed costs.

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.You need to get a firm grasp on two things: the ways to make money with real estate, and how to find deals that match your goals.P.S.
