About this episode

Taking down a $6.5 million real estate deal might seem like an unlikely feat for a rookie investor, but it’s not if you use other people’s money. When today’s guest had a large portfolio of multifamily properties fall into his lap, he exhausted all of his resources to bring it home—dodging multiple curveballs along the way!

In this episode of the Real Estate Rookie podcast, we’re diving into the world of syndication with investor Andrew Freed. Real estate syndications can be a great way to build a real estate portfolio without using much of your own money, but this investing strategy also requires careful planning and coordination. The biggest challenge for most investors? Raising capital. And that was certainly the case for Andrew, who only managed to scrounge up the funds he needed during the eleventh hour.

While you may not plan on tackling a multimillion-dollar syndication deal any time soon, there are several important lessons that every rookie investor can take away from Andrew’s latest deal. In this episode, you’ll learn how to find the BEST deals through local real estate meetups, how to raise a TON of capital by leveraging your own network, and how to bring a deal to potential investors!

In This Episode We Cover:

How to build a large real estate portfolio using other people’s money

Finding RARE deals by attending your local real estate meetups

Leveraging your network to raise capital for syndications

The best ways to present a syndication deal to potential investors

How to negotiate financing terms on a large commercial loan

And So Much More!
