Between 2008-2018 Fortress RDI & affiliated brokers raised over $920 million in Syndicated Mortgage Investment Funds. Thousands of every day Canadians invested in these SMI's and many lost their life savings. A syndicate mortgage is a group of individuals who lend money privately to a borrower primarily to help finance the"soft costs" of a real estate developments.  The minimum investment for an SMI was $25,000, with cash or with registered funds.
