Yeah, the higher advertised returns is just from leverage in the real estate world. You can apply the same leverage in the stock market and do just as well or better.

Where real estate wins is if you're able to write off depreciation using REP status and 1031 exchange.

Yes exactly not the easy passive 12+% returns pitched on this syndications!
