456: The Harsh Reality Real Estate Syndicators (and Investors) Face in 2024

Many real estate syndications are facing absolute failure in 2023 . But, even if you aren’t investing in any, this could be a learning experience like no other to help you build your wealth in the future. If you’ve never heard of a real estate syndication before, here’s a quick summary: a real estate syndication is where an “operator” raises money from a group of investors to buy a large commercial property, often an apartment complex, self-storage facility, or housing community. Over the past ten years, these investments have boasted massive profits, but everything is about to change. Real estate syndications face obstacles like they never have before. Rising interest rates and vacancies , a backlog of evictions , plummeting prices , and inexperienced operators who have NEVER been in a down market. These failed deals could lead to opportunities for you to invest at a massive margin , but how do you know which deal is worth putting money into?
