Inheritance Sparks Real Estate Journey
- Bryan inherited a large sum of money unexpectedly from his mother, who had invested wisely.
- This inheritance led him to explore real estate investments and syndications as part of diversifying his portfolio.
Limit Syndication Investment to 5%
- Avoid investing more than 5% of your net worth in a single syndication to reduce risk.
- Diversify your investments across multiple deals to protect against unforeseen challenges like COVID.
Choose Secured Debt for Safety
- Invest conservatively by choosing secured debt positions in syndications to increase safety.
- Secured debt has priority for repayment, which helps protect your principal investment.
