In this episode, we had a conversation about private real estate investing with real estate guru Jorjio Hopkins. Jorjio first explained the pros and cons of three different types of investment vehicles: crowdsourcing, syndication, and funds. A real estate fund can close a deal much faster than crowdsourcing and is more diverse than syndication. In terms of choosing between a publicly-traded REIT vs a private REIT fund, liquidity is a key difference. Typically, a high-income earner who's looking for a relatively low-risk way to diversify their investment portfolio is a good candidate for private real estate investments. The most important thing in Jorjio’s opinion, without commiserating with LBW (drumroll please!), is asset allocation. (Please listen to/watch our last episode “S3EP12 How To Invest "F**k You Money? - Personal Financial Asset Mapping” for an in-depth discussion.)
