When it comes to passive real estate investing, learning from the mistakes of others can save you time, money, and frustration. By avoiding common rookie errors, you can increase your chances of success in passive investing and syndication.In this episode, Steve Suh shares valuable lessons he has learned from over 14 years of passive real estate syndication investing. In this podcast, he discusses some of the mistakes he made early on and key things all passive investors should focus on, such as networking, vetting sponsors and operators, and paying attention to capital stacks and debt structures. Steve also introduces his upcoming ebook, which goes into further detail on each lesson. This is a must-listen for both new and experienced passive real estate investors!About Steve Suh Steve Suh is a founding member of Left Field Investors and has been passively investing in real estate syndications for over 14 years. He is a practicing ophthalmologist and eye surgeon in Southern California. In his spare time, he enjoys writing educational blogs for leftfieldinvestors.com and creating content to help other passive investors learn from his extensive experience. His upcoming ebook, 20 Valuable Lessons Learned from 14 Years of Passive Syndication Investing, aims to share the lessons he has learned over the years to help passive investors avoid common mistakes.Link to Steve's Book: Avoiding Rookie Errors as a Left Field Investor: 20 Lessons Learned From 14 Years of Passive Investing in Private SyndicationsHere are some power takeaways from today's conversation:[03:23] Learning from people's mistakes[06:53] The importance of networking[12:16] The operator as a keystone of every operationEpisode Highlights:[06:53] Network, Network, NetworkSteve's insights emphasize the importance of networking in money management and investing. Through virtual networking sessions and forums, he has gained valuable knowledge from others, allowing him to connect with like-minded individuals and explore diverse investment opportunities. Steve highlights the value of private forums, where he can interact with fellow investors and access a wealth of information, enabling informed decision-making and reducing the need for trial and error. Networking is especially crucial in passive investing, helping investors distinguish between good and bad syndicators. Steve's positive experience at the 2022 Meetup in the Left Field further highlights the energy and collaborative environment that networking creates. In summary, Steve's insights underscore how networking empowers individuals to learn, access valuable information, and connect with professionals in the field, ultimately enhancing their chances of success in passive investing.[12:16] The Operator is a Keystone of Every SyndicationSteve compares the operator to a central principle or part on which all else depends, similar to a keystone in an archway. The operator is the one who runs the show in terms of the asset, such as the placement and management of ATMs. While there may be capital raisers and syndicators involved, it is the operator who handles the day-to-day operations. Steve emphasizes the importance of thoroughly vetting not only the sponsor but also the property management team. Understanding who is actually running the show and speaking directly with the operator or property manager ensures that investors are not deceived by just the sponsor or syndicator's claims. By delving into the granular details and gathering feedback from other sponsors, investors can make informed decisions about the operator's capabilities and performance.[15:32] Pay Attention to the Capital Stack and the Debt StructureSteve acknowledges the challenges faced by syndicators due to rising interest rates, particularly with bridge debt. Many syndicators got caught up in value-add deals with variable rate loans, leading to capital calls and foreclosed apartment complexes. This is usually due to complacency and not fully considering the potential impact of rising interest rates. Therefore, Steve emphasizes the need to carefully assess the debt structure and its potential vulnerability to interest rate fluctuations to mitigate risks in future investments.This show is for entertainment purposes only.

We are recognizing Episode 101 because it's the first of our next 100 episodes. That's what we're excited about. We are looking forward to the future, but we are also going to recognize the past. We are going to talk about where we have come from, what's happened at Left Field Investors over the past few years and where we're going. We are Left Field Investors.

It wasn't intentional that we set up Left Field Investors but every time we have had success or passed a monument of some kind, we would figure out what the next thing is. That's what we mean when we say we five guys figuring stuff out. We're trying to do the best for the community and now - we're 1,200 people figuring stuff out together.  In this episode, we're going to acknowledge the past with a keen focus on our future.

Be Thankful In the very beginning of 2016 Steve found himself in a hospital bed. He had no idea if the cause was stress related or not, but he realized that from that moment on, balance is important. "How your mental state is is so important....Although you're making your business grow and helping other people with their business, you need to make a contribution outside of work. When Steve was in the US, he was working for businesses barely getting paid. During this moment of his journey, he still found time to give back. Steve's solution is setting up a detailed schedule. Tuesday and Thursdays are gym days, Wednesdays are piano lessons, and Sundays are tennis lessons. "You have to make sacrifices if you're running a business, if there is an event or meeting, you push your schedule around, but by providing that contribution to society its' critical to being successful. #Timestamps 00:40: Introduction 02:45: Passion 06:25: Struggles in career 09:45: Biggest Failure 13:10: Moment Floship was created 16:45: Habits to become more efficient 18:45: Resources in business 21:20: Steve’s day as an entrepreneur 25:35: Best piece of advice EVER 26:00: Being in your own head Steve Suh Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevensuh Website: http://www.floship.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/floship Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/floship __________ Techie, Millennial Author, WWE Fan, Podcaster.
