10 Questions to Ask Before Investing in a Real Estate Syndication

1. What is your track record and how many projects have you completed?

2. What market are you investing in and why?

3. What’s the business plan and timeline?

4. What are the projected returns?

5. What are the risks—and how are they being mitigated?

6. How is investor communication handled?

7. What is the minimum investment amount?

8. Are you investing your own capital in the deal?

Multifamily vs Single-Family Investments: What’s Better for Passive Income?

Both multifamily and single-family properties can be profitable—but they operate very differently, especially for passive investors. Let’s break down what makes them unique.

Single-Family Investments

• Lower entry cost

• Easier for first-time owners

• Higher tenant turnover

• Less scalable

Multifamily Investments

• More units under one roof = greater efficiency

• Professional property management is more feasible

• Lower vacancy risk (one tenant leaving doesn’t mean zero income)

• Easier to scale with larger deals

Why We Focus on Multifamily

At EIG, multifamily is our bread and butter because it offers:

• Economies of scale

• Forced appreciation via renovations

• Stable returns across market cycles

How to Invest in Real Estate Using a Self-Directed IRA or Solo 401(k)

Your retirement account isn’t limited to stocks and mutual funds. With a Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA) or Solo 401(k), you can invest in real estate—potentially boosting returns and creating new tax advantages.

What Is a SDIRA?

A self-directed IRA allows you to invest in alternative assets like:

• Real estate

• Private placements

• Notes and loans

It works just like a traditional IRA but with broader investment options.

Why Real Estate in a SDIRA?

• Tax-deferred or tax-free income

• Diversification away from market volatility

• Stable, cash-flowing assets

Rules to Know

• No self-dealing (can’t buy property for personal use)

• Must use a qualified custodian

• Title is held in the name of the IRA

How We Help

EIG regularly works with SDIRA and Solo 401(k) investors, guiding them through:

• Custodian setup

• Proper documentation

• Compliance steps

The Top 5 Mistakes Passive Real Estate Investors Make

Real estate can be an incredibly lucrative path to wealth—but jumping in blindly can cost you. Here are the most common mistakes we see passive investors make and how to avoid them.

1. Not Vetting the Operator

Your investment is only as strong as the team managing it. Always review:

• Their track record

• Transparency and communication

• Deal experience

2. Ignoring the Market

Even a great property in a poor location won’t perform well. We focus on:

• Job and population growth

• Landlord-friendly regulations

• Undervalued neighborhoods

3. Not Understanding the Business Plan

You should always know:

• What upgrades will be done

• How rents will increase

• The projected exit strategy

4. Overestimating Returns

Don’t fall for flashy 20%+ IRR promises. Always ask:

• Are assumptions realistic?

• What’s the downside scenario?

5. Not Asking Questions

If you don’t understand the investment structure, fees, or timeline—ask! You deserve clear answers.

BRRRR Method Explained: How Investors Build Wealth with Real Estate

If you’ve spent any time researching real estate strategies, you’ve likely heard of the BRRRR method—Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat.

It’s one of the most powerful tools in a real estate investor’s toolbox, helping to scale portfolios, build equity fast, and reduce the need for fresh capital.

But what does BRRRR look like for passive investors? Let’s break it down.

What Is the BRRRR Method?

• Buy: Purchase a distressed or undervalued property.

• Rehab: Improve the property to increase value and rent potential.

• Rent: Stabilize the property with tenants.

• Refinance: Pull out built-up equity through cash-out refinancing.

• Repeat: Use the returned capital to reinvest into the next deal.

Why We Use BRRRR at EIG

While many think BRRRR is only for hands-on flippers or landlords, we use this strategy in our multifamily projects to:

• Increase property value quickly

• Improve cash-on-cash returns

• Recycle investor capital faster

BRRRR Benefits for Passive Investors

• Get in on deals at a discount

• Benefit from upside potential through forced appreciation

• Enjoy refinanced capital returned faster than a typical hold

• Compound your gains into new opportunities
