Author: Terence Critchlow

I have been investing in Real Estate for over 30 years, primarily in small properties,  and only recently found what I consider to be an optimal strategy for busy professionals – investing in syndications to provide passive income streams. This strategy has allowed me to break my dependency on my paycheck without it creating another job. 

I started MBC to share the opportunity with you.

Within MBC, I apply the writing, project management, and organization skills I developed running complex, multi-year, multi-organization software projects in a 20+ year career in tech (culminating as a Principal Technical Program Manager at Amazon) to my real estate investment projects. 

In particular, I focus on cash flowing real estate with partners that have demonstrated a strong track record. I mainly invest in a small number of asset classes and target markets.

For more details about me, connect with me on LinkedIn. 

Check out our newsletters for details on why I love syndications. If you have any questions, reach out at info@mbc-rei.com

    In Q4 2023, the interest on the federal debt surpassed 1 Trillion dollars [1] for the first time. That’s almost double the amount we paid in Q4 2019 ($565B), and is truly an unfathomable amount of money to be paying simply to cover the cost of maintaining our deficit (not to pay it down).
