Syndication basics for new investor

[Dylan Grieve]

Hi, I'm new to investing, and have recently found someone willing to partner/mentor on rehab deals. He is also looking to fund a large construction project for a 60+ unit apartment complex, and is seeking to form a syndication to help fund the construction.

I'm attempting to help him by reaching out to accredited investors such as doctors and attorneys via phone/email to gauge interest.

In reality, I have very little idea of what I'm doing, and am not sure if calling/emailing these individuals is kosher.

Any thoughts/ideas/criticisms from those of you who are experienced in this area?
