After getting a chance to meet @Neal Mahoney with Cloverleaf Drywall and Construction, I wanted to give him a shot.

I am excited to get started in this industry and looking for other investors to network with... please let me know of any up n coming investment meeting or if you would like to talk real estate...

@Scott Taylor, 25% down is standard for non owner occupied 2-4 unit.If you're going to live in a unit: we can do 15% down for a duplex, or 20% down for 3-4 unit. 3.5% down FHA across the board, of course, but good luck getting an offer accepted. 

It's not a binding contract until there is a "meeting of the minds".  

My understanding was to meet the criteria one needs to:1.

Good to meet you on BP!

To me (unless the members have a role) this seems like it meets most or all of the criteria to be considered a security to those members of the original syndication of funds.
