Creative strategy ideas for investing in multifamily and cre.
I am looking to deploy cash into real estate deals in creative ways and wanted to see if anyone has a good mid stack structure they can recommend. I want more control than a traditional LP/syndicate investor and I’m willing to forego some upside for predictable cash flow and safety. But need a return higher than debt. 

Is it debt? Is it equity? Mezzanine?  Can someone point me in the right direction?
