PassivePockets: The Passive Real Estate Investing Show

David Morovitz was 45 years old when he realized he didn’t have any real estate. He had no possessions besides his own property. That was what triggered him to really start investing more. So he reached out and learned about the world of syndication. He went to meetups and landed right on left-field investors. And thanks to left-field investors, David has been exposed to sponsors from every asset class to really create a diverse portfolio. Having the ability to bounce sponsors and numbers off through so many resources is something you have to take advantage of. So start now while you’re young, don’t wait till you’re 45. Get out there and start investing in real estate.

Most people want to live a life full of choices and without regret – it’s a lot easier to accomplish this if you are financially free.

Vyzer is a wealth management tool that was designed to monitor and track all of the standard financial asset classes. But what’s most exciting about this tool is how it has been optimized to track passive syndication investments. Litan Yahav explains how Vyzer works in this conversation with Jim Pfeifer. Litan started out developing hardware and software for photographing and displaying diamonds online for trading. After he sold the company, he and his partner decided to invest on their own rather than go with a standard wealth manager.  They found real estate syndications and started allocating capital but soon found that there was no software solution for tracking syndication investments - so they decided to build their own.  This was the beginning of Vyzer - the complete wealth management tool that allows you to track all of your financial assets, including syndications and private placements.   Tune in to this episode to learn how to ditch your spreadsheets and get started with Vyzer!
