What to Know About Real Estate Syndications
An interview with Ron Rohde as we chat about real estate syndications and what limited partners (LP's) need to be aware of when evaluating opportunities.
About Ron:
Ron Rohde is an experienced investor and commercial real estate attorney.
Ron is a Texan with a long history in north Texas real estate. As soon as he had a driver’s license, he was delivering keys to tenants, supervising contractors, or delivering notarized closing documents for a variety of rental properties.
With both parents as licensed real estate brokers and mortgage lenders, it was a natural evolution to advise clients on real estate transactions.
