Private Lending vs Syndication - looking into both

[Bob Willis]

Hey All,

I am thinking about moving out of the direct management of my rental units and moving into other real estate options. I am looking at a few things but recently have looked at Private Lending vs buying into syndication deals.

With Private Lending I believe the returns would be better, but the effort would be more (finding the deals, managing the deals, etc). With syndication the returns would more likely be less, but the effort would be much more passive.

Any private lenders or syndication investors care to share their experience. Have you done both, which you prefer, etc...

Thanks,
Bob
