@Kole Moore as @Steve Vaughan pointed out, it wasn't clear whether you were going to (1) try to offer your own syndication, or (2) invest your own money in one. 

My thought is to offer $50k assuming all liens - $5k to each kid plus $15k to the agent (listing price $1mil).

Finally I told my agent to offer $500 over the other party's best offer up to $133k.

@Raylene Luckett Froman Apologies, I don't have any valuable insight to offer here, but I did want to chime in and say: I used to golf every week with my father-in-law and some friends.

I would be more than happy to offer my services as a RE agent to anyone that needs help, I'm licensed in IL and serve all of Lake county, Northern Cook, northern Dupage and eastern McHenry counties.

Hello, I wanted to see if someone in the area of Hampton roads or close by would like to offer some insight On their first rental property purchase

Some for sure will be willing to share and teach.Try also getting into relevant local FB groups, and check there who is active and open for sharing, and start byilding a relationship.Don't forget that you do have something to offer: you have the will to success and work hard for it, and you are there to learn, do things together, and sooner than you think you will be contributing to the relationship also by alleviating the work load (probably in the parts that your gude will less enjoy :-) )The most important thing to my opinion, is being mentored by a (payed) mentor that specializes in entrepreneurship or businesses.

I explained that I'm a Realtor also, and I would like to offer $1,200 per lot for all 21 REO parcels.

I typically like to start with an initial phone call to discuss your investment goals/experiences, answer any questions you have, and tell you all about what our company has to offer.

I'm open to any and all suggestions and help that anyone is willing to offer.
