Apartment Syndication in 12 Steps

Your Financial Advisor wants you to gamble your savings in stock market. That’s how they make money. There is no downside protection in stock market. You can lose virtually all your money not just the gains when you invest in paper assets. You have downside protection when you invest in hard assets like real estate. Single family investing is step in the right direction but completely wrong strategy. Passively investing in apartment syndication is the right strategy.
