Multifamily Syndication Bootcamp

[Pramod Yash]

Dear all:

I am writing to get your advice on a multi-family syndication bootcamp where I can get some hands-on experience with deal-sourcing, capital raising and executing value-add programs.  I guess the best way to intern (for free) with someone who could use my analytical services and shadow them and am looking for advice/referral on that front as well.

Having been in the institutional world for a long time, I am deeply familiar with underwriting, financial projections, debt financing etc. The areas that I think I need help before I take a plunge (market conditions permitting, ofcourse) are the 3 I mentioned above (plus overcoming my own fears) .

I have been listening to various podcasts (Rod Klief, Neal Bawa, Old Capital etc) , read some of the books (e.g. Best Ever.. by Joe Fairless) and blogs on syndication ( Coach Carson, Reed Reed Goossens) and also committed to investing passively in a few deals.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated?

@Pramod Yash With your background, you don't need a boot camp which are, mostly, geared towards folks not as financially sophisticated as yourself. You need to learn how to market and get the word out there. That is completely different skill set than the ones offered at the average boot camp. 

This includes, but is not limited to developing a thought leadership platform, intentional networking, hiring marketing people and so on.
