@DeWitt GibsonAttempting to syndicate or crowdfund has become easier than ever; successfully crowdfunding or syndicating is much much more difficult.The lines between crowdfunding and syndicating are now very thin so that each contains elements of the other, a successful syndication will have an online aspect with many similarities to a crowdfunded project.For a successful capital raise in real estate, the following are essential1- A verifiable track record of success by the sponsor2- A professionally prepared Private Placement Memorandum, Subscription Agreement and Operating Agreement3- Compliance with Reg D 506 b or 506 c, Reg A or Reg A+, or Intrastate fully compliant offering4- A large majority of ownership interest and benefits going to the capital investors5- A no felony background check of the sponsor6- Specific identified properties that will be acquired7- A relatively small percentage of invested capital going for fees, costs and sponsor”s “promote”.8- A professional online “platform” with all compliant security measures9- A minimum projected return to investors commensurate with the risk 10 - Return of capital plus a minimum of profit to investors before sponsors get their cut11- A quality dealI have successfully completed over 200 syndications, each between $400,000 to $4,750,000.I have examined thousands of other sponsors offerings.

Unfortunately, it was a little too late as I had already moved on to a different platform.

The questions I encourage you to ask before choosing your strategy is what is your ultimate goal, how much time do you have to dedicate to real estate and how hands on do you want to be in your investments? 

As a newcomer in this industry, I was delighted to find this online platform and am eager making meaningful connections with others who share the same passions.

when using Zillow/Redfin, it might be easier to leave messages on those platform where it says to send messages in a text box and send it.

I’m going to have to find you on other social media platforms as I see you are in my market.
