Go to college, get a great job,
invest in the stock market for the long haul, retire at 65. This is
the path for many professionals, but certainly not the
uber-wealthy. Groups like Goldman Sachs and Alex Rodriguez are
investing in apartments to keep more of their money and Holly
Williams thinks you should do the same.
Holly spent more than 25 years as an executive
in the advertising and market research industries. As the years
went on, she found herself paying more and more of her salary in
taxes, getting very little in return. Then she discovered apartment
syndication and has invested in deals located in Texas, Tennessee,
Florida, and South Carolina. On this episode, she shares how the
uber-wealthy keep more of their money and why most “financial
advisors” don’t want you to know about apartment
investing.
