564: How to Make Truly Passive Income with “Syndication” Real Estate

Visit PassivePockets, your resource for passive investing with syndications.  Passive investing is most people’s goal, especially if they’re trying to achieve FIRE. They don’t want to be weighed down by managing a dozen rental properties, an active business, or a complicated stock portfolio that requires constant check-ins. Instead, many of us want that “mailbox money,” with checks coming in without us having to do the work ourselves so we can focus on doing what we love. Sounds enticing, right? Then “syndication” real estate investing might be perfect for you.  We’re thrilled to have the newest member of the BiggerPockets podcast network, Jim Pfeifer, host of PassivePockets, on today to talk about this one investment type that changed his life. Jim has invested in over 100 syndications and has been able to reap the significant rewards of passive income, massive tax benefits, and diversification through real estate syndications. Today, he gives a beginner-friendly breakdown, touching on what a syndication is, why it’s an excellent investment for FIRE, how to vet a syndication BEFORE you invest, questions to ask a syndicator, and the unbeatable tax benefits you can get from sitting back and collecting passive income checks!

Real estate syndications explained and why they’re such an unbeatable investment How to vet a syndication operator and the questions you MUST ask before you invest The two barriers to entry for syndications and why you DON’T need to be an accredited investor to get in the game Tax benefits galore and how Jim is paying $0 in taxes on his syndication profits How much a syndication can make YOU (and why it might beat owning rental properties!)
