Ashcroft Capital Reviews

Many investors approaching retirement start rethinking how to generate stable income without increasing their financial risk. Mary G. and her husband found themselves in this position as they explored real estate options. Initially drawn to single-family rentals and condos, they began weighing the potential downside of managing individual properties against the benefits of passive investing through syndications.

As Mary explains, “My husband and I are nearing retirement and looking for passive income in real estate. While searching for SFD and condos to build a portfolio, we started to consider the risk with owning single properties vs. investing in syndications, which we learned about during this time.”

The learning process revealed a powerful alternative. Through syndication, they could diversify across several properties and markets without managing the day-to-day operations. This approach helped shift their perspective on real estate. “The idea of spreading our risk out among either an apartment complex with 100’s of units, or a syndication fund of 7–8 complexes (with an even greater spread of risk) made perfect sense,” Mary says.

For investors nearing retirement, the goal is often simple: create predictable cash flow with minimal hands-on involvement. Mary and her husband’s experience reflects a growing trend—real estate investing doesn’t have to mean becoming a landlord. It can mean partnering with professionals who handle operations, while still benefiting from real estate’s long-term advantages.
