Real Estate Syndicate Reading Suggestions?
Hello all.  My father suggested to me that I look into forming a real estate syndicate.  Since I seem to have more time than money right now (just starting out being a professional) and I happen to work with a fair number of people who do have money, this might be a good opportunity for me.  I'm an attorney who has some experience with landlord tenant law which I think will help greatly in property management but there is still a lot I need to learn.

Anyways, I'm trying to get started with absorbing as much information as I can.  If anybody has any suggested readings I would be greatly appreciated.  Info on formation to suggestions on what the first property should be are all welcome.  Thank you all.

P.S. I'm in California if that helps at all.
