Summary
These days, there are many options for investing. From the tried and true methods of investing such as mutual funds and bonds, to the more risky and volatile options like stocks, cryptocurrency, NFT’s, and the metaverse.
It’s all a delicate balance of risk vs reward.
One of the tried and true vehicles for investment is real estate. While many investors think you need a large amount of capital or an incredible amount of time to invest in real estate, the truth is you can invest in real estate with limited capital and if you partner with others as a passive investor it can require almost no time.
But what are the benefits of investing in real estate as opposed to other options like stocks, bonds, or crypto? What advantages do you get from investing in real estate as opposed to a tech startup or opening a restaurant?
The list of benefits for investing in real estate is exhaustive and impressive. When compared to other investment vehicles, real estate is unrivaled.
Listen to hear a few of the most attractive benefits when it comes to investing in real estate.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Money Tree Investing Podcast. Stock market, wealth, personal finance, value stocks, invest in your life. |
| 0:11.0 | Hello, Smart Money Tree podcast listeners. Welcome to this week's show. My name's Kirk Chisholm and I will be your host. |
| 0:17.2 | So today, we're talking with Ralph Germain. How you doing today, Ralph? I'm doing great, Kirk. Thanks for |
| 0:22.0 | having me on the show. Good. Well, glad to have you. So we're going to be talking about syndications. |
| 0:26.3 | So Ralph, maybe you could tell us a little bit about your background. Like, how did you get started in |
| 0:30.7 | real estate syndications? My background actually is really not in real estate at all. I actually |
| 0:37.0 | found real estate through a |
| 0:39.5 | misfortune in my own life. I went to school for business, started working for Bank of America |
| 0:44.6 | shortly after college. And then I really didn't feel fulfilled. So I started working for a transfer |
| 0:51.6 | high school, which is basically a high school for students that are over age and |
| 0:55.8 | undercredited. So it felt more aligned with like what I wanted to do with my life. So I ended up |
| 1:00.9 | doing that for a few years and worked my way up the ladder in the education field. I actually |

| 1:28.6 | First time in my life I had to apply for unemployment. And I just really felt betrayed. I felt |
| 1:33.2 | humiliated. I felt powerless. And it was at that low point in my life. I told myself, you know what, |
| 1:38.8 | this will never happen to me again. I'll never let someone else determine my financial status, my financial outcome. And so I did |
| 1:46.1 | some soul searching and some research, ended up finding a real estate as an avenue, sort of gained |
| 1:52.8 | some more financial flexibility. And so at the very first networking event I went to, I met my now |
| 2:00.4 | current business partner, Dinesh. Fast forward a few years |
