## Resource

Amanda Cruise interviews Jonathan Greene, broker, investor, and host of the Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing podcast. Jonathan shares how growing up around commercial real estate shaped his investing philosophy and why he has shifted from active ownership into passive syndication investments as he focuses on lifestyle, capital preservation, and long-term wealth creation. The conversation explores how to evaluate syndication opportunities, the importance of operator quality and debt structure, lessons learned from failed acquisitions and mistimed exits, and why Jonathan prefers tangible assets that align with his personal interests. He also discusses mixed-use properties, generational wealth, and how investors can avoid chasing trendy asset classes in favor of disciplined decision-making.
