// Key Lessons

1. Turn your friend group into a real estate dream team: Don't have $50K lying around? Grab four friends with $10K each, and boom—you're an investor squad.
2. An LLC isn't just a fancy acronym—it's your legal shield: Pooling money without it is like going skydiving without a parachute. File that paperwork.
3. Every friend needs a job: Assign roles—researcher, treasurer, even the "sends the email updates" person. Inactivity = SEC side-eye.
4. Don't let your buddy become the investment dictator: If one person controls the money or calls all the shots, congrats—you're accidentally running an illegal fund.
5. Start with learning: If you're low on cash, go heavy on knowledge. A club that studies together, invests smarter together.

I spent 12 years as a data scientist at HP and purchased $5M worth of real estate over 15 years using my own money. Now, I'm partnering with busy professionals to diversify their investments and generate passive income through real estate syndications and short-term flips—without dealing with tenants, toilets, or tantrums.

At Furlo Capital, we believe real estate isn't just a transaction; it's a partnership. Our value-add approach creates win-win situations where residents thrive, and investors build wealth. We're not just in this to make money—we want to make a difference.
