Robert Kiyosaki once said, “Finding good partners is the key to success in anything: in business, in marriage and especially in investing.” On this show, we talk a lot about passive income and passive investments and how to create wealth through those vehicles, especially real estate. What about partnerships or syndications?

Today, I want to explore the world of investment partnerships, they're also known as syndications, and how you can potentially participate and profit from them as well. What is a syndication? In its simplest form, a syndication is just a pooling of investor money where the investor is typically a passive limited partner. The other partner to the deal is really a general partner or an active partner. That’s the person that puts the deal together. They manage the business plan. They provide the return and the benefits to all investors. You'll hear general partner or GP often. They're also referred to as the syndicate or the sponsor. These terms are used interchangeably. At the end of the day, a syndication is nothing but a group investment. It’s a pooling of investment capital to put into an investment opportunity that is managed by a syndicator.

We have an amazing guest on today’s show, someone who I'm getting know quite well. In fact I'm meeting him for lunch here in a couple of weeks. We had a great opportunity to get to know each other recently. His name is Mauricio Rauld.

Mauricio, welcome to the show.

Thanks for having me, Marco. I appreciate it.

It’s great to have you on. I had the privilege of finally meeting you at a video recording studio in Phoenix where you and I are part of a curriculum for an upcoming Wealth Training Program along with some big names like Ken McElroy and Tom Wheelwright among several other high-profile names. Honestly, I felt like a small fish in a big pond there. It was my opportunity to just actually get to know you and invite you on the show because I know you're a wealth of information.

I appreciate that. That makes the two of us being a small fish in a big pond. Our good friends have some pretty impressive names and it was just a pleasure to be among those. It was great just to share some time at the backstage and we had a chance to chit-chat and get to know each other. That was really good. It was really great.

I'm actually looking forward to get to know you better and actually doing some work with you. Let’s start off with a little bit about you. Why don’t you tell us how you got into the world of real estate syndication?

I've been doing this for a while. After I graduated from law school, I did basically what every lawyer dreams of doing, which is I went to work for a fairly large law firm down in Southern California. I did a lot of securities work back then, but it was really litigation. I was doing all the court cases, depositions, trials, motions, all that fun stuff. Anytime somebody got into trouble,
