Multifamily Syndication Deals

[Andy Deyto]

Hello all, 

I am new to RE investing but after spending months learning about different ways to invest, I realized multi families are more up my alley. I am also learning more about syndication deals and partnering with various capital firms to understand the market better. 

I am curious to see if anyone has heard of the Cashflowmarketplace platform and if anyone has experience investing using that platform. 

Thanks all in advance!

I really don't understand why some people think syndications are only for experienced and wealthy investors.  That makes no sense to me.  What's nonsensical is telling anyone that they have "zero business" investing in something.

Real estate syndications can be accessed for less than the down payment on a rental property and are managed by professional asset managers.  How is that worse than having no experience and buying active real estate?  How are syndications worse than someone recommending that a new investor sell their house and buy a new one to house hack?  This baffles my mind.  

If you take the time to educate yourself and join a Community of like-minded syndication investors, you absolutely can be successful with no experience (you learn from others) and without bein accredited.  Certainly, if your net worth is $100,000, you shouldn't be investing $50,000 or maybe even $25,000 but people with that net worth often invest in the stock market - how is that better?  You can invest in syndications for as little as $10,000 in some cases.

As someone else mentioned, the first thing you need to decide is if you want to be active or passive.  That is critical because everything starts there.  If you want to have a second job (many do, but it should be a choice in this case) then perhaps active investing is for you.  If you don't want another job, then perhaps passive investing is better for you.  

I have done both and I finally realized that passive investing in syndications is the best option for me.  I effectively hire asset managers to find the properties, set up the deal parameters, buy the property and manage the asset.  The part where I participate is vetting the operator (most important) and analyzing the market and the actual deal.  After that, I wire in my money and wait for reports and distributions.  Again, you don't need to be accredited or experienced to do this - I strongly recommend you educate yourself and join a Community so you will be best prepared for success.

There is no reason to become an active real estate investor if that isn't what you want to do or what you might be good at - there are other ways to get into real estate.  There is no reason that syndications need to be reserved only for the wealthy and those with experience.
