Syndication vs Investment propery

Tom Grieshammer
Posted

I have 120,000 that I want to maximize long term profits. I’m a full time teacher and swim coach so I can’t go into real estate full time. Should I invest in a syndication instead of buy my own investment property? Can I even invest in a syndication with my relatively low income as a teacher/coach.

Question is do you want to invest in syndication? Over the years, I invested in 3 different syndication in 3 different states, all of the returns were close to nothing compared to my own SFH investments brought close to 40% CoC returns.

I don't think you need to be full time investor to invest in real estate, learning curve is steep at the beginning-but if you can setup correctly you won't need to invest that time later. I work 1 hour/week managing 21 SFHs, where half of those are managed by third party property management company.
