In some of the most expensive real estate markets in the US, a two-bedroom home may sell for over $950,000.  IF you were considering buying that thing, you’d have to put hundreds of thousands of dollars down, just to buy a starter home.

Or does it make sense to go against conventional wisdom, continue renting, and invest that money into a real estate syndication instead?  Here, we’ll explore the math, as well as the potential risks of two paths a ..read more

Before you’re fully committed to, and after you’ve become interested in a real estate syndication, you need to know several details about actually investing in these deals.

As a smart investor, you’ve got to know exactly why you’re choosing a particular investment in addition to the required creden ..read more

Fifty thousand dollars is a LOT of money. Nevermind fifty thousand dollars per year. I get it, but hear me out. Once you see the potential results, I strongly believe you might be more willing to put forth the effort required to get there.   I’ve seen regular people with regular salaries (even teachers!) do this and change their trajectories forever. So, as with most things in life, it’s about resourcefulness, not resources. You can do anything you put your mind to, and seeing the progression of investing in syndications year after year might help you put your mind to it.   Here’s wh ..read more

If you’ve invested in residential real estate before, you have some important, basic lingo like rental income, mortgage interest, and amortization under your belt. When you step into the world of commercial real estate, you’ll begin to see other terms, like “cap rate”, thrown around as if everyone inherently knows what that means. It’s okay if you don’t know what a cap rate is or what it’s used for. It can be challenging to understand and hard to calculate. As a passive investor, you won’t have to do any of the hairy work to calculate cap rates, but it’s helpful to have a very basic grasp of w ..read more
