Hey @Matt Galas I joined Exit Realty because of the potential there is to be had with the sponsorship program. 

We are grateful and her sponsorship is one of the reasons we are able to continue to keep Black Diamond free.  

Monthly cash flow, appreciation, long term investment, quick flip, etc.Personal Financials - It sounds like you are ahead of the game here, but stronger financial sponsorship will be required for investment property.

I'm looking to get my license in the coming months and I'm wondering about broker sponsorship.

In general the equity deals will be better returns then debt given the higher risks.RS has two different equity deal types:- pref equity- equity Pref equity usually has higher annualized returns but once that is met you don't get to participate in any upside.For equity there's a preferred rate but it's lower then what you'll see in a pref equity deal but after you pass the pref rate you still get to participate in any upside.This is detailed in the waterfall under the financial tab.RealtyShares does charge a fee to manage the funds so you will find higher returns on direct sponsorship models platforms like CrowdStreet and RealCrowd.

The track record of the sponsorship team on a real estate syndication investment should be the top thing you look at.Otherwise, cap rate might carry weight in these two arenas:#1 – Is the cap rate comparable to other assets in the area?

Sponsorship is where you will start.

Its roughly $120 per month sponsorship a flat rate for each property sold and about $75 for E&O insurance.

The one that is listed as giving GTAA the most sponsorship money is Cohen Highley and I have used them before.
