Marshall Sykes grew up in a real estate family, learning early how building and holding properties could create lasting wealth. After serving 24 years as a U.S. Navy Captain in the Civil Engineer Corps and later managing billion-dollar projects at ExxonMobil, Marshall turned his focus to investing. Starting with single-family rentals, he soon discovered the power of scale in multifamily real estate.

In this episode of the Global Investors Podcast, Marshall shares his journey from owning single-family homes to partnering in over 2,000 multifamily units. He explains why syndication became his preferred strategy, how to vet sponsors and operators, and what new investors need to know about lending terms, reserves, and market risks. We also discuss the pros and cons of single-family vs. multifamily investing, the importance of long-term planning, and his expansion into oil and gas syndications.

Whether you’re an active investor, a passive investor, or just beginning your journey, this episode offers practical lessons on scaling wealth and avoiding common mistakes.
