Syndicators - any recommendations?

[John P.]

I have invested with several syndicators over the past 7 years. Curious if anybody has any others to recommend as I like the idea of being as diversified as possible as I would like to avoid a Bernie Madoff type situation ruining my retirement. :)

In no particular order:

Rise48 - Arizona and Texas multifamily;

Think Multifamily - Texas multifamily; 

Open Door Capital - Texas multifamily; 

Lonestar Capital - Texas multifamily; 

Camino Verde Group - Vegas, Texas and South Carolina multifamily; 

Disrupt Equity - Texas multifamily; 

Garages of America - Texas storage; 

Ashcroft Capital - multiple states.

Others I have heard of but not invested in:

BAM - Indy;

Grocapitus - Arizona and Texas; 

Elevate CIG - currently has a deal in South Dakota; 

Praxis Capital - seems to do a lot in Georgia but currently just has a fund open;

Sunrise Capital - parking lots and multifamily - storage too? 

Wellings Capital - fund; 

ANY OTHERS you recommend? Any input on the above?  I'd love to get into some other sunbelt states besides Texas as I seem to be Texas heavy right now.

There are investment clubs like Leftfield Investors or the 506 Investor Group that have deal flow across various markets and asset classes.
