Reading suggestions? Want to organize a real estate syndicate
So the other day I was talking with my dad and he suggested I look into forming a Real Estate Syndicate (perhaps the wrong term?).  I'm a lawyer for an entertainment company and work around a fair number of people who have money.  I have experience with landlord/tenant law (unlawful detainers and such) so I thought that put me in a better footing than most.

I wanted to know if people had any reading suggestions on:
1) Syndicate formation
2) What to look for in a starting property to purchase
3) Anything else you think might be useful.

Thanks.  Cheers.
