Trust me, if they don't like your deal, they will let you know. 

@Dan ShelhamerLook into DST's (Delaware Statutory Trust)

I am an electrician and one of my customers just mentioned the family wants to sell the old family house which is held in the family trust.  

Find local and national companies online that offer this service as well. 

@Nick BrubakerUse a warranty deed (or special warranty if encumbered) to keep the title chain in better shape instead of a quit claim deed.You can also use a land trust if your lender approves it as you’ll be able to change the beneficial interest back to your LLC later on without having to re deed your property.

Say there is a syndicator raising $10M for an apartment complex.Say I personally have $100k to invest, but there are other friends/family of mine that want to invest, they just don't have the relationship or time to build a relationship/trust with syndicators.Am I allowed to "sub-syndicate" a group of my own network of investors to invest in the actual syndication? 

Perhaps one with strong real estate knowledge, but also one who can advise my wife and I on a variety of other topics, including but not limited to her 401k, stock investments, college funds/trust funds for our 5 children, etc?

So trust me, its just the name of the game.

I'd Highly prefer turnkey to get started in the market until I can build a trusted local team (property manager, contractor, lender) to turnover a few properties a year going forward.   

Cash for keys and any other tactic isnt good as these tenants cant be trusted and are now making sure everything gets delayed, claiming all kinds of hazards etc.
