Sentinel opportunity Fund 1

[Steven Olivas]

Hello, I am new to the biggerpockets website and forms. I am very interested in real estate investment as a way for financial freedom. As I am currently learning about real estate investment, a client of mine told me about this sentinel opportunity fund. I wanted to ask if anyone on the biggerpockets knows anything about this? It sounds like a good way to start in real estate, I just wanted to double check if this is legit? looking forward to everyones response?

Hello and welcome.  I don't know anything about this fund, but typically a fund would not be a suitable investment for a beginner.  

What are your goals?

[Steven Olivas]

Hello, thank you for your response. my main goal is financial freedom, I own a corporate training business and have been able to save money, but now I would like it to start working for me through smart investments. I have some in the stock market and a HYSA, i've always wanted to own real estate investments as another way to build wealth.

the issue with something like that fund is that it's going to be fairly illiquid.  i invest in both stocks and real estate.  and my real estate is actually fairly liquid, if i listed at the right price (which I don't intend to, since I plan to hold forever, but if I did) i could sell fairly quickly.  and my stocks as you well know are highly liquid as well.  the funds are low control AND low liquidity.  to that I say - no thanks.

Never heard of them but I would make sure to do due diligence on any sponsor that includes understanding their background, experience, reporting processes etc.

Also always have an attorney review the PPM and subscription agreement
