Ratan Khatri is a strong believer in the power of leveraging other people's money through syndication.  He's recently completed his first syndication with the purchase of 50 single family homes in Muskegon, Michigan, and he'll be investing in Senior Assisted Living, Mobile Home Parks, Self-Storage, and Multi-Family through syndication as well. Today Ratan & I discuss his philosophy of investing, and why he believes its better to own 10% of ten things rather than 100% of one thing.  Ratan also shares his thoughts on the economy and why he's investing in different asset classes.  You'll also learn how Ratan has added additional value to his real estate through simple upgrades and improvements. Ratan is also the owner of RKP Management, which manages over 200 homes in Muskegon, Michigan, with an emphasis on helping veterans and low-income families.  Ratan has been active in improving tenant screening in the Muskegon area, and those efforts have been paying off with decreased turnover for his & other's properties. Ratan also discusses the immigrant experience, and why certain immigrants are so successful after moving to the United States.  You'll learn what separates America from the rest of the world, and why our streets are 'truly paved with Gold'. I know you'll enjoy this episode and the wisdom Ratan has to share.  You can contact Ratan through his property management company, linkedin, or phone: http://www.rkpmgt.com/ 231-206-1181
