"I wish this book had been around ten years ago when I started syndicating. It would have saved me a lot of struggle! [This book] will no doubt help thousands of passive investors make better and more informed decisions on where to invest their hard-earned money."
―Kathy Fettke, Co-CEO of Real Wealth Network and host of The Real Wealth Show

Outsource your real estate investments—and say goodbye to the hassles of tenants, toilets, and trash—with the ultimate guide to passive syndications.

Even for experienced real estate investors, finding the right passive syndication opportunity can be overwhelming. But Brian Burke, a private equity firm CEO with half a billion dollars of real estate acquisitions, will show you how to evaluate opportunities and offerings so you can pick the right sponsors and improve your odds of success.

  • How to find and vet an experienced, engaged sponsor

  • Red flags to avoid—and the performance metrics and communication standards that will keep you on track

I have finished yet anything about analyzing multi-family property in syndications. There's no other book like this

Syndication Essentials

This book does a good job of reviewing what goes into a syndication deal from the sponsor and the investor's side of things. I recommend it to anyone looking to gain more valuable insight into syndications.

Best book on the topic!

This book is so very thorough and put in understandable, relatable words. I am a full-time passive real estate investor in my financially-free retirement. I read everything I can get my hands on about the topic and Brian Burke has written a book that is a must for all passive investors.

About the Author

Brian Burke is CEO of Praxis Capital Inc., a vertically integrated real estate private equity investment firm. Brian has acquired over half a billion dollars’ worth of real estate over a 30-year career, including thousands of multifamily units and more than 700 single-family homes, with the assistance of proprietary software that he wrote himself. Though he prefers to reposition existing multifamily properties, he has also subdivided land, built homes, and constructed self-storage. Brian is a licensed pilot, so when he isn’t investing in real estate, he can be found, literally, in the clouds.
