@Shafi Noss Have you read or listened to The Best Ever Apartment Syndication Book by Joe Fairless? Might help you with some of your questions. I'd a great read and goes into the "How-To".

Hi Richard,

My preferred way to invest has been via multifamily syndications. 14+ and counting. Best of luck!

Hi Miguel, about 10 years ago I still had some bad debt, but I know I wanted to pursue real estate investing. I chose to start in real estate rather than waiting to pay off the debt. I have to say, in all honesty, that was the best decision I ever made. I used the cash flow from the rental property to pay off my bad debt and I had a tenant paying off my mortgage debt. It was an incredible eye-opener for me. Best of luck! 

Nice I like it! These are my favorite (3) rules to follow #1 Invest for cash flow, not potential appreciation #2 secure long-term conservative financing #3 Have adequate cash reserves on hand

I use Mark Kohler's firm every year to help my business grow. I am not affiliated or paid to promote them, but Kohler and Eyre is a very reputable and useful term for investors and business owners if anyone is curious. 

Hi Christina and all other curious investors ;) I'm happy to discuss my syndication experience one-on-one with anyone. I do not prefer to publically post negative reviews about sponsors or GPs. I'm always happy to share my experience and opinions in order to help others, but it is simply my experience and not the experience or opinions of everyone who has invested with the particular groups. DM away! 

@Anthony Porembski Good question. I started with single-family fix and flips and buy and holds in 2009, then started doing vacation rentals with single-family. I eventually got in over my head with active management on all my properties and couldn't find a good way to make the business passive, even though I had put property management companies in place. So I went back to the drawing board and discovered multi-family syndications with some extensive online research. I called a few groups, interviewed a few syndicators, and started with one investment. Once I realized the passive benefits of this model, I started liquidating my single-family portfolio and I have since converted nearly 100% of my portfolio into 14+ diversified syndications. Hope that helps! 

Hi Jason, Ken McElroy or (MC Companies) just released a deal about a month or two ago. I believe it filled up in about 48 hours because he has a lot of investors and hasn't done a deal in a while now. Make sure your investment philosophy aligns with the syndication group(s) you invest with. I have invested in 7 or 8 deals with Joe Fairless (Ashcroft Capital). I have made continued investments with Ashcroft because of the alignment in investing philosophy. Good pick! 

Hi Andrey, I've invested in 14 syndications in the past several years with many Sponsors/GPs and have found it rewarding to have geographical diversification and passive income streams. Happy to share the good, bad and the ugly in my experience. Feel free to DM
