In this episode of The Real Estate Syndication Show, guest host Jim Pfeifer, Founder & CEO of Left Field Investors, hosted Steve Suh, an experienced ophthalmologist and co-founder of Leftfield Investors. Steve, a seasoned passive investor in real estate syndications, shared insights from his 14-year journey, detailed in his Amazon bestselling book, “Avoiding Rookie Errors as a Left Field Investor.”
Highlighting the importance of learning from others’ mistakes in real estate investing, Steve drew parallels between his surgical practice and investing, stressing the need to understand and avoid past errors. Despite setbacks in oil and gas syndications, including a Ponzi scheme, Steve remained committed to real estate, diversifying across asset classes, sponsors, and geographies.
A key takeaway was the critical role of the operator in a syndication deal. Steve emphasized vetting not only the syndicator but also the third-party management team. For those interested in Leftfield Investors or connecting with Steve, email [email protected] or visit leftfieldinvestors.com.
