| 0:00.0 | So today we're going to be chatting about real estate syndications, when to invest, when to pass. |
| 0:05.8 | Because I think a lot of people are wondering this right now. |
| 0:09.6 | There's a lot of PTSD from the last four years or people know people that have had PTSD on losing money in apartment syndication. |
| 0:19.2 | Yeah, it's a big topic. You know, I think that, |
| 0:22.7 | but first of all, let's talk about why I think it's gotten so popular. I think people are |
| 0:27.7 | generally afraid of inflation. They're generally, they don't quite understand the stock market. |

| 1:26.4 | Cash flow is probably number two in that order, where a lot of people think it's cash flow |

| 1:36.6 | But most people don't understand when you're first getting in there that they're really |
| 1:41.0 | ultra wealthy are trying to buy real estate to offset tax. I mean, |
