    In this episode, I’m joined by special guest Donna Reid from Reid Elite Capital to unpack the world of real estate syndications. We dive into what syndications are, the roles of LPs and GPs, what it means to be an accredited or non-accredited investor, and how deals are typically structured. Donna also explains what an underwriter does, what the typical minimum investments look like, and the key pros and cons of this type of investing.
