FAQ

Syndication is the pooling of investor money where the investor is typically a limited partner and the general partner, or active partner, puts the deal together and manages the business plan to provide a return for the benefit of all investors.

The Private Placement Memorandum is required by the SEC and describes the offering, risks, includes the partnership agreement, investment summary and subscription agreement. It is a lengthy legal document prepared by a syndication attorney. The subscription agreement section includes basic information as to amounts being purchased and percent ownership. The risk section highlights just about every possible risk that could happen.

Actual returns vary on a property by property basis. In a value-add project, a large part of the investor returns come in the year of sale. See the private placement memorandum (PPM) for specific property investment risks.

Minimums vary from deal to deal but generally are set at $50K with preference given to investors with more to invest.

Investor distributions vary from deal to deal but most syndications make monthly or quarterly distributions.

We’ll provide monthly or quarterly email updates on the investment’s progress including renovation status/pictures, rents we are getting, and the distribution amount for the period. You will also receive a K-1 statement from us in March of each year for your tax filing.

Real estate investments are very tax efficient. As a limited partner, you may benefit from your portion of the investment’s deductions for property taxes, loan interest, depreciation, etc. We will also use a cost segregation strategy to accelerate depreciation. The tax loss may be used to offset income depending upon your individual tax situation. At the time of sale, the partnership gains are treated as long-term capital gains. *Note that we are not tax advisors and every investor’s situation varies. You should consult your own team to review your personal situation.

The returns forecasted are described in the private placement memorandum (PPM) and vary from deal to deal. The most common fee is an acquisition fee based on purchase price and is paid at closing. This covers the general partner’s costs to find the deal and get it under contract. The second most common fee is the asset management fee which is compensation for holding the property manager accountable, to ensure execution of the business plan, bookkeeping, and distribution of checks and K1s. The asset management fee is aligned with the investor’s interest as it is based on the property’s revenues. Investor returns are typically modeled net of any fees.
