Real Estate Syndicators & Investing

[Amul Shah]

Hi,

I'm new to Biggerpockets.  I've enjoyed the podcasts and have been reading about types of investment opportunities.  

So far. . .I considering syndicate real estate investment in multi-family units.  Prefer to find some opportunities in north NJ area.  

Seeking advise on how to find legit real estate syndicators (what questions? And the answers I need to listen for) and vehicle to make the investment. One option is through self-directed IRA account. Appreciate all comments and suggestions.

Best,

Amul
