One of the reasons passive investors like multifamily syndications is to leverage the time and experience of seasoned operators. So how does a 21-year old become a multifamily syndicator, while still being a student at UC Davis? If anything, it shows that you can overcome any obstacle if you are willing to educate yourself, work diligently, and proactively address the challenges.
