I'm particularly passionate about emerging markets in the Multifamily domain.Outside of real estate, I enjoy time with family and friends.

There is a major franchise that puts these together, writes their own lease (sale-leaseback deal) and surprise - Gives themselves rent holidays in later years in the lease.4) Realize there the return they give you is NOT guaranteed, so better history of the syndicator better the odds you'll get it.5) If you have the money, try to diversify and spread it around by prop type and location (ie make 10 buys of $100K vs. one buy of $1M)6) It's commercial RE - You CANNOT turn around and sell it if you need the money now.
