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.

  • How do you know who to take advice from?

    A question I got recently from another syndicator is “Who do you go to for unbiased retirement investing advice?”

  • Key differences between REITs and syndications

    At a high level, syndications comprising multiple properties look an awful lot like REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) so a reasonable question is why would you invest in a syndication, where your money is locked up for years, when you could invest in real estate through a REIT instead.

  • Book Review – 10x is easier than 2x
