Main Points:
- I got started in real estate when my wife sent my law profile to a real estate firm. I had no prior experience. I had one meeting with the law firm, and I got a phone call from the firm’s top lawyer who had his own real estate company with a billion-dollar portfolio. He hired me as his General Counsel…with no experience. Don’t assume you need experience before you get into real estate investing.
- Why this is so important for all investors, no matter if you are just getting started or if you have been investing for decades.
- The biggest problem with syndication (even though our law firm helps investors to set up their syndication).
- Why I believe JVs are the cheapest, easiest, fastest and safest way to build your portfolio.
- How to find a JV partner
