The Capital Stack

The Capital Stack

It's no secret that investing in real estate is an incredible way to build life-changing, long-term wealth. You might've heard the statistic that nearly 90% of all millionaires owe a portion of their wealth to buying, selling, or holding real property. But the question is how? How do you transition from simply being interested in real estate, to owning real property as an investment? Dive into the world of real estate group investments every week with commercial real estate investor Brandon Jenkins, and learn more about how syndicators structure the capital stack to acquire deals. If you want to understand how to achieve risk-adjusted, asymmetric returns through commercial real estate investments, don't miss an episode!
