Evaluating Passive Income Investments: A Guide To Financial Freedom with Dave Zook

Do you think analyzing deals is difficult and confusing? Do you struggle with determining what a “good” deal even is? 

One of the first steps I take when evaluating a deal is understanding the incentives of who is behind it and what is in it for them.

In our latest episode of the Grow Your Cashflow Podcast, I interviewed Dave Zook, Founder & CEO at The Real Asset Investors who has raised over $800M for his projects to ask:

  • What is a syndicator and why you need one as part of your investing roster
  • How to use syndicators to achieve financial freedom at least 2x faster than on your own
  • How syndicators pick the funds that they present to investors
