If you’ve got money to invest, you’ve got a lot of options. So, what are the pros and cons of the stock market? Single family homes? Multifamily syndications? What’s the difference between active and passive investing? And how will the predicted market correction impact each of these opportunities?

Bronson Hill is the Director of Investor Relations at Nighthawk Equity, the investing arm of the Michael Blank organization. Bronson started investing in real estate 13 years ago, building a strong single-family portfolio before he transitioned to multifamily. Now, Bronson is the General Partner for 225 units, and he is passionate about sharing the benefits of passive investing in multifamily syndications.

Today, we switch things up and Bronson interviews me about the options available to passive investors. I weigh in on the downside of investing in the stock market, explaining why the actual return is much lower than what your financial advisor tells you! We also cover the advantages of investing in multifamily syndications, including the below-average risk and extraordinary tax benefits. Listen in for insight around the potential market correction everyone is talking about and learn what we do at Nighthawk Equity to protect our investors from the possibility of a downturn.
