Diving Into the Numbers on Syndications ...

About this episode

Let me guess: you listened to our previous episode with Brian Armstrong and got interested in what the numbers look like in that real estate syndication opportunity for engineers. Correct? 🤔

Then this episode is exactly what you needed! 😉 💸

Today, we bring back Brian Armstrong to dive deeper in the nuts and bolts of building a passive income machine with real estate syndications…using the higher salary you get after passing the PE Exam, just like he did. 🏠

From what real estate syndications are and how they work to the most important metrics you need to track, Brian covers everything you need to get started in this world with the confidence of a 20-year real estate professional. 💪

If you want to make the money you work hard to get work even harder for you…and beat the paltry 7-10% stock market return…then you’ll want to listen to this one. 🎧
