I need referrals to agents/brokers who have expertise in this who can double check my analysis of deals and help me build a real estate team.  

Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thanks for your time/expertise.

I left my corporate job too... about 11 months ago to start my own brokerage and my personal interest/ expertise is in investing.

An IRR shows an investor what his MONEY will earn with no active participation, whereas a syndicator is putting in his valuable TIME and EXPERTISE and FINANCIAL RISK (often personal guarantees backed by personal assets) to generate the return and must be fairly compensated for these contributions.

Just make sure you hire a professional home inspector with expertise in this area.
