Want 100% passive income? As in no tenants, toilets, phone calls, or painting! You can get genuinely passive income through one type of investment—real estate syndications. Never heard of them before? You’re about to have your world flipped upside down because today, Jim Pfeifer, host of PassivePockets: The Passive Real Estate Investing Show, is on to walk you through real estate syndications, even if you’re a complete beginner!
Joining Jim is a long-time syndication investor and former professional football player (seriously!) Devon Kennard. Before syndications, Devon bought single-family homes during his NFL career, but as his time got increasingly limited, he needed a passive way to invest. The obvious choice? Real estate syndications!
Jim and Devon deliver a masterclass on syndication investing, showing you how much money you’ll need, how to vet a syndication deal BEFORE you invest, the profits you could make, and red flags to watch out for. If passive income is your goal, syndications are for you; here’s everything a beginner needs to know!
In This Episode We Cover:
Real estate syndications explained and who should (and shouldn’t) invest in them
The minimum investment amount for real estate syndications (lower than you’d think!)
How to vet a syndicator (general partner) BEFORE you invest in their deal
Why many real estate investors ditch rentals for the passivity of syndications
Preferred returns, equity payouts, and other ways a syndication will make you money
What Devon and Jim look for in a syndication before they invest any money
And So Much More!
