How do you achieve your real estate goals?
Identify if you want to invest in real estate directly, where you own the property and will be responsible for the day-to-day activities, or if you would rather be a passive investor. This will be the most important decision to make because it then determines what your next steps will need to be. Although there are similarities between the two investment strategies, many decisions, proper planning, and ways to protect your downside will need to be made as to how to have a successful investment.

Many family offices do not have a set strategy for how they invest. When looking at how to establish their strategy, a family office should look closely to how endowments invest as there are many similarities to how a family office can benefit from a similar philosophy.
