580: Operating And Investing In Real Estate Requires More Skill In A Normal Interest Rate Environment

Investing in real estate syndications from 2015 – 2018 resulted in highly positive outcomes, including major appreciation and double-digit returns, often times as high as 30%-40%, or even higher. Investing in 2020 to 2022, however, may have yielded vastly different results, especially if you invested in Multifamily. Too many sponsors took on highly leveraged bridge debt and got buried when rates escalated. Sam Giordano, MD and Real Estate Investor, started passively investing in syndications in 2017 and enjoyed great wins, but also some valuable lessons along the way. Sam has recently developed the LP Deal Analyzer, a platform that analyzes deals with the power of AI to help other Limited Partners make better educated decisions about what deals to invest in.
