Are there things I need to watch out forc) Any other things to be careful about investing with a first time syndicateA) I don't syndicate (as the person leading a syndication or participating), BUT I'd imagine it would be pretty easy to verify he's putting in his own money. 

That is how all my students are doing it... and this simply works.NOW:SEO takes time... but credibility is instant.The second you have a credible website and it is published, you are instantly credible...

You sound happy, and I’m happy for you.Not to poke holes at you, but househacking a duplex you got commission on for being the broker while simultaneously needing an FHA loan to contain costs/minimize expenses isn’t something I would count as a 1% property on the MLS as it’s not repeatable, and further proves the point deals are no longer “had” or “found”- they require active participation to be “made”.

Passive investing through a syndication allows you to participate financially with no active involvement.
