Hello and welcome. My name is Gino Barbera, one of the co-founders of Jake and Gino. And in this

how-to video, we're going to be discussing if you're an LP, how do you protect yourself as a limited

partner in an investment in multifamily? And how do you know that investment is right for you?

A lot of the talk has been on general partners, operators. I want to bring

that may be crazy coming from somebody who loves multifamily, who's created one of the premier

multifamily education companies. I think that's out there, the Jake and Gino community. Our

students have closed over 80,000 units. They've raised almost a half a billion dollars in capital.

illiquid for a certain period of time. A couple of years ago, you may be able to get your money back 18 months, 24 months.

Now, as the market cycle has changed, those time horizons have gotten a lot longer.
