I’ve realized I need more passive options, and have moved to a syndication and private lending.

While I’m open to both turn-key and fixer-upper properties, my preference leans slightly toward value-add opportunities where I can improve the property and increase equity or cash flow.That said, I’m also happy to consider turn-key options that provide immediate cash flow if they fit within my investment strategy.

Also, explore creative financing options that might balance your partner’s limited credit/cash flow without putting all the risk on you.If you're attorney can't clearly articulate this, maybe it's time to find a new one.

And countless other options.

There are more options, but this is sufficient to answer your question.
