He started by house hacking, and then moved into multifamily investing with a fourplex and investing in a syndication.  Being able to compare the fourplex and syndication side by side gave him clarity on his long-term goals.  Even with property management, the fourplex required a lot of his attention and the returns didn’t feel worth the level of effort he was putting into it.  Meanwhile, the syndication was simply netting him money with no effort on his part.  After working with the syndicators for a few years, he realized he wanted to get more involved.  Now, he works with Regency Investment group as an Investor Advocate.  In addition to raising capital, he’s helping educate current and prospective investors on syndications.  Real estate is a powerful tool you can use to achieve your goals.
