to invest but not willing or not motivated to spend the time sourcing and managing deals on their own. Most investments into private real estate syndications start at $50,000-$100,000. For those who are in a season where they have more time than capital to allocate, real estate syndication is a great vehicle to accelerate the wealth-building process. Unlike purchasing a stock, we can leverage our invest - ment dollars 3-to-1 when purchasing real estate (in most cases). For example, on a million-dollar real estate purchase, the bank will allow us to conservatively borrow 70 percent of the purchase price. That means we can buy that property for only $300,000. Imagine your returns if you raised the other needed $300,000 from family and friends… that would be consid - ered an infinite return! This active approach to real estate syndication, however, will take a significant amount of energy and time and I warn young investors all the time of trying to approach this business as a “side hustle.” With less inventory of affordable homes on the market, now is a great time to start investing in rental real estate in America. •
