Over the course of his 35-year career, Shannon has taken on various roles, including overseeing construction projects, working as a developer and multifamily asset manager, and investing in many deals. He started syndicating in the last few years.

Shannon shares his best pieces of advice on how to become a successful syndicator.
- Find a mentor and work up to your goals slowly but steadily.
- Understand what kind of investor you are, how high your risk tolerance is, and what type of deals fit your lifestyle.
- If you’ve lost money, figure out why, and don’t do that again.
“When you’re underwriting correctly, if everybody’s doing it, it’s probably a really good time to not be doing it.”

Shannon shares his insights on selecting top-notch service providers while minimizing associated risks within your team. His advice is to prioritize expertise and experience over cost. Also, always think at a higher level about your business and look for the most dedicated service providers with good track records.
Towards the end of the episode, Shannon shares his risk mitigation strategies in the current market. He’s always managed risk from an 8-cap standpoint. If he can’t get an 8-cap on the investment, he won’t pursue it. He’s emphasizing not being influenced by the market and having a solid underwriting strategy.
