Quotes:
“To find the property's value, we need to do, you know, underwriting. So that's how we find the value of the particular property.” – Rama Chunchu
“The main reason behind going with a conservative with underwriting. So even in current market situations. So, we need to spread a little bit higher because no interest rates are going up. That definitely another factor.” – Rama Chunchu

SYNDICATION
SHOW
The Real Estate Syndication Show is a 7-day-a-week podcast where Whitney Sewell interviews the most successful entrepreneurs in the commercial real estate business. The show was created to help every active investor learn how the syndication business works, improve their business and help passive investors understand where to invest when wanting to diversify into real estate.
Many career professionals, especially those earning healthy incomes, look for ways to put their money to work, earn passive income and potentially build wealth. Thus, many, especially those holding a lucrative day job, turn to passive real estate investing to accomplish these goals. While most remain passive investors, there are highly-motivated and driven individuals who go on to active investing as general partners or co-GPs in multifamily syndication.
Such is our guest in today’s episode. Building a 15-year career in the IT industry, Rama Krishna Chunchu of Usha Investment Group has now chosen the path to active investing in the multifamily syndication space. Before doing so, he pursued various means of learning real estate investing – from reading books, listening to podcasts, attending conferences, joining mastermind groups, and investing in deals as a passive investor. Listen now and gather how an IT professional gets a start in real estate investing and becomes a co-GP in multifamily syndication.
