As an investor, you’re expected to get your financial house in order. You’re supposed to be your family’s leader, a savvy investor with the know-how to separate market noise from the signal. Don’t forget you need the answer to factors outside of your control; macro economic mis-management, global turmoil, and political division! Should you start preparing for the Great Reset? Maybe it’s time to buy some Bitcoin? It’s exhausting to think about.

When it comes to real estate, you are probably asking yourself, “Do I really need to invest with someone or can I do it alone, and keep all the benefits for myself? After all, it’s one of the most time tested and proven investments, how hard can it be?”

If you're an active real estate investor, you already deal with 'tenants, toilets and termites' so why not just build your own real estate empire? To be 100% transparent, I have traveled this path, and it would be disingenuous to say I regret it. It’s been an amazing journey I am grateful for, but it has not been without its challenges; challenges which eventually led me to make the transition from active real estate investing to passively investing through syndication funds. I love it so much more and I think you might too....

Before I started Freed by Real Estate, I was an active real estate investor with hundreds of units that I managed — fixing toilets, cockroach infestations, and chasing down contractors to finish the job among many other headaches. After finishing one of the hardest weeks, I decided to calculate my return on a recently completed project. What I learned was heartbreaking! I was making low double digit returns, which on the surface sounds ok, but was it? It was in that moment of reflection that I remembered the return on an apartment I passively invested in, and it was the exact same! The major difference was, of course, that

It’s almost embarrassing to admit, I could’ve taken the same money, invested it in an apartment syndication, gotten the SAME returns and avoided ALL the toilets, termites, and tenants! I knew something had to change. I decided to free myself from my active role and hired a property management team so I could focus on growing my passive investments. But there was a problem – The team I hired was made up of family members and the real estate bug bit them hard! Why is that a problem???

Well, because now we ALL wanted to grow our passive investments and I wasn’t comfortable putting our family’s future in the hands of another syndicator.

I had to create Freed by Real Estate, where I could help our family and thousands of other investors create the same wealth and enjoy the same tax benefits alongside us (just like family)! We have realized SO many benefits from this shift from being active investors to passive.
