I implore you to do one of two things...1) find a partner that's been there, done that, and bought the tee-shirt so you can learn the ropes with someone who knows the pitfalls or, 2) start with a single-family or duplex with the guidance of someone that knows what they are doing.

The investors with the most units and most experience could just as likely be in flip flops and a Jimmy Buffett shirt as jeans and a polo.

The more information that you have out there the easier it is for people to find you, if you want them to find you.I almost everyday wear my "Rick Buys Houses" shirts with my phone number on it. 

You have to buy right, know where the market is headed, know ALL of your expenses and know what your various "outs" are before you commit to a property or you will lose your shirt.  

Quote from @Rud Sev: Hello,I am new to the world of syndication (LP investor) and want to understand how taxes at a high level for syndication as LP before asking individual specific questions to my CPA.Notably, I want to understand how preferred returns/cash flows are taxed, if at all, until the amount invested has been returned.

No paper towels, no "flushable wipes", no dental floss, no hygiene products, no tee shirts (real example). 

There are many ways to buy cheap elsewhere but still lose your shirt. 

Take the shirt off their back to pay for the damages...but not anymore.

It also requires gaining a level of sophistication and knowledge that not everyone has the time, inclination or ability to do.
