How would you vet a New Sponsor/Syndicator?

[Account Closed]

I've been reading and studying on how to become a multifamily syndicator for the past 6 months.  With no track record and no experience, how do I build trust?  I was thinking about being forthcoming to my potential investors about who I am, all the way down to the speeding ticket from 4 years ago.  Would that be too much?

Hey Lamont, I'd say to "think big and start small!"

Perhaps raise some from family and friends on a smaller 2-4 unit to prove yourself and learn the mistakes on the smaller deals before risking the big bucks!
