Real Estate Rookie

Visit PassivePockets, your resource for passive investing with syndications.

Do you want to get into real estate without managing rentals and dealing with tenants? Passive real estate investing could be the answer. In this episode, we’ll explore an investing strategy that allows you to enjoy all of the profits, appreciation, and tax benefits of real estate investing without the headaches of ownership!

Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Today, we’re joined by Jim Pfeifer, host of the new PassivePockets podcast. Like many investors, Jim used to self-manage his rentals, collect rent, and handle typical landlord duties—only to find that he wasn’t very good at it. Even after hiring a property manager, his problems didn’t go away. So, after he’d had enough, he gave up active investing altogether and poured all of his capital into real estate syndications instead. Now, he doesn’t have to worry about clogged toilets or evictions. He just sits back and collects a check!

In this episode, you’re going to learn everything you need to know about syndication investing and why it’s the perfect way to diversify your real estate portfolio. Jim will show you how to find and vet a syndicator, leverage your retirement accounts, respond to “capital calls,” and more!

In This Episode We Cover:

The pros and cons of passive investing versus active investing

Why it’s MUCH easier to diversify your portfolio with passive investments

Capital calls explained (and what to do when an operator requests funds)

How passive investing returns compare to active investing returns

Why the tax benefits are often better with passive real estate investments

The number one thing you must do when vetting a syndicator

How to find more syndication opportunities for non-accredited investors

And So Much More!
