When Lane had a full-time job as an engineer, he invested in residential real estate for another source of cash flow. With the additional income, he started investing in more property. Eventually, he realized that investing in single family housing would be hard to scale due to the attention required to manage both the properties and the tenants.
Through networking, he discovered the world of private placements and syndications. Syndications pool together investors in order to fund an investment. A general partner (GP) oversees the whole investment while limited partners (LP) are passive stakeholders. LPs do not have any risk of debt since the GP signs his/her name on the contracts.
If you’d like to start investing as a limited partner, you need to know how to identify legitimate from bogus deals. A background in real estate is helpful but ultimately, your network will be your source for reliable information. Lane also advises LPs to invest no more than 5-10% of their net worth in a single deal.
