How to Build Wealth Through Syndication?

August 08, 2025•3 min read

Marv and Victoria McGuire joined the Vast Voice podcast to share their journey from single-family rentals to becoming multifamily syndicators managing hundreds of doors across the Southeast. Victoria began as a residential Realtor in 2005, later pivoting to underwriting multifamily deals, while Marv—retired from the Navy and a background in IT sales—focuses on investor relations. After years of managing scattered single-family homes, facing high maintenance costs and burnout, they sought scale and stability through multifamily investments.

The couple transitioned into syndication after educating themselves through real estate courses, including one by Grant Cardone, and joining a mastermind group led by Rod Khleif. Their shift proved fruitful—acquiring nearly 500 doors in a single year. Their strategy emphasizes strong partnerships, due diligence, and conservative underwriting. They only present three to four vetted deals per year, filtering through hundreds of opportunities to meet their strict metrics—at least an 8% preferred return, 15% IRR, and 1.75x equity multiple.

Victoria emphasized transparency and co-investment as key values. They invest their own money in every deal and maintain clear communication with investors through webinars and a streamlined portal process. They also welcome funds from qualified retirement accounts like IRAs and 401(k)s, helping clients diversify into real estate. Marv noted they’re conservative with projections and aim for "singles and doubles," offering a solid alternative to the volatility of the stock market.

While based in Florida, most of their current acquisitions are in Georgia and South Carolina, due to Florida’s high insurance costs and inflated seller expectations. They focus only on landlord-friendly states, which helps protect investor capital. Their deals involve thorough three-tier underwriting, site visits, and market analysis, which sets them apart from many operators who submit dozens of low-due-diligence offers.

In closing, Victoria and Marv encouraged listeners to explore real estate syndications as a way to diversify and build generational wealth. Marv shared that his military background shaped his disciplined and deliberate approach to investing. Both stressed the importance of education, mindset, and taking action. They invited interested investors to reach out through their site HeartSillCapitalPartners.com or by contacting them directly for more information.
