Episode Highlights:
[10:16] How Apartment Syndication Works
Alec explains how High Country Capital Partners does apartment syndication: they bring their own capital plus investor funds to purchase large apartment complexes. This allows individual investors to own real estate without hassles. They focus on "light value add" deals from 50-480 units, typically from 1980-2010. Investors receive 7-10% annual cash flow plus an equity payout when the property is later sold/refinanced.

[25:30] The Benefits of Land Investing
[30:27] The Benefits of Multifamily Investing
Alec highlights two main benefits of investing in multifamily real estate:

Tax benefits: Large tax breaks are available through depreciation deductions and cost segregation studies. These can help offset other sources of income for investors. The government incentivizes multifamily investing through these tax advantages.
