Apart from the plethora of good reasons mentioned by the posts above mine, syndicators tends to sell deals because that is where they make the bulk of their returns i.e. get to participate in promote. 

We have deals that you can partner on for as little as $10k as well as multi-million dollar apartment complex deals you can participate in.

This gives them some diversification, but also allows others to participate in some of the most attractive deals.As a sponsor, all of the upfront costs including Earnest Money, inspections, plane tickets, etc are paid by us upfront. 

You do not need to have a Chase checking account to participate in the service.

You may wish to confirm that the new 401k provider will handle the ongoing compliance support such as any required 5500 filing (e.g. 5500-ez for a one-participant plan with assets in excess of $250,000), any required tax reporting (e.g. 1099-r in the event of a distribution or in-plan Roth conversion), mandatory plan updates and amendments, etc.4.

Looking to participate in my first buy / hold / cashout refinane .

As a contractor I participated in a 3 block renewal, and watched it backfire.

IMO the online auction process for the auctions I have participated in is flawed in that the RE is not yet closed to the current owner making payment.  

*If you or your spouse qualify as a Real Estate professional "To do so, you our your spouse must spend over 51% of your time (and at least 751 hours) working in real estate businesses each year and materially participate in your rental activity." 

There are a couple of passive options that come to mind that offer different levels of risk / reward;1) Participating in a syndicate - Spend your time vetting syndications / syndicators that fall within your investment envelope (e.g. 50K, 250K).
