Looking for passive real estate investment for funding

[Duke Giordano]

Hello all,

I have been a listener to bigger pockets podcast and ready to get involved in real estate.  However, many of the pods are about buying duplex, MF homes etc and accumulating with a hands on approach; yet I am mostly interested in hands off investing opportunities that I can put my money into passive income streams.  I am a fairly highly paid professional and I am maxing out my pretax retirement accounts as well as investing a good amount monthly into a taxable brokerage account. I am looking to form some real estate position with the goal of passive income for the future with a decent rate of return, and to diversify from the stock market. However I don't have much time from my day job, and not so much interested in just a REIT mutual fund.  I currently have several hundred thousand on the sidelines that I am looking to deploy at some point in some form of real estate but not sure the best avenue. As I stated I am really looking to be mostly silent in these deals, and mainly to be a financier and form passive streams. I really don’t have the time to do anything active or to put too much legwork into it.   I am not sure if syndication deals or internet companies such as "rich uncles", crowd-street, Alpha investing websites are good options or if there are other avenues.  I do qualify as an accredited investor.  Thanks in advance.

You are looking for what's called a private placement. There are excusions in the SEC code that identify vehicles for pooling fuds together just in the way you are describing. Most often this is accomplished with one form or another of Regulation D506. 

There are a few of us on BP who specialize in putting these opportunities together.

The two best ones are right here on this thread. But, looking at the profile picture, I am clearly much prettier than @Brian Burke.

Good Luck and be safe.
