Every investment comes with risk. Just as unexpected things come up in life, unexpected things also happen in the stock market, and in real estate.

The key is not to look for risk-free investments (that doesn’t exist), but to understand the risks thoroughly, determine your threshold for risk, and ensure that you’re doing everything you can to mitigate risk.

We thoroughly discussed the risks between stocks and real estate syndication in our blog. Click the link on our bio for our blog to read the full article!

Would-be investors oftentimes think buying and managing multiple properties is the best way to secure their financial future. It seems easy enough. Purchase properties, find tenants, and collect monthly rent.

But the constant stress of overseeing multiple properties can quickly dominate your time, attention, and life. Most people would agree that the best investment is the one that fits in with your lifestyle, while reliably bringing in extra money.

We tried different avenues of real estate investing before eventually discovering we could invest passively in real estate syndications. As a passive investor, you never have to deal with the headaches of being a landlord. You get to avoid tenant troubles and maintenance issues!

If you’re currently investing actively in real estate or if you’re just getting started in as an investor, keep reading to learn how real estate syndications might work for you.

In this video, find out whether you should be an active or passive investor.

On the flip side of active investing, you have passive investing, which are the “set it and forget it” type of real estate investment. You invest your money, and someone else does all the heavy lifting.

The great part about passive investing is that it IS passive – you don’t get any calls from the property manager, you don’t have to screen any tenants, and you don’t have to file any insurance or eviction paperwork.

However, being a passive investor also means that you relinquish some of your control in the investment and trust someone else (i.e., the operator and sponsor team) to manage the property and execute the business plan on your behalf.

WHAT INFORMATION SHOULD INVESTORS GATHER BEFORE DECIDING TO PARTICIPATE IN A SYNDICATION?
Investors should conduct thorough research before participating in a syndication opportunity. It includes gathering information on the property, market conditions, location, and growth potential.

HOW DO SYNDICATORS RAISE CAPITAL?
Syndicators are individuals or companies that gather a group of investors, known as a syndicate, to participate in financial transactions such as equity offerings or debt. Raising capital is one of the syndicator’s primary responsibilities, which involves preparing a PPM and identifying and evaluating investment opportunities.

DOES A SYNDICATOR HAVE TO REGISTER WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION?
Often, syndicators offer and sell securities without registering with the SEC ( Securities and Exchange Commission) due to various exemptions that exist.

WHAT ARE ASSET MANAGEMENT FEES?
Asset management fees range from 1 to 5% of your gross monthly income on a property. You’ll manage syndication, update investors, oversee property management, and assist with tax prep to receive this fee.

Let us know if you have any other questions for us. We would be happy to answer them all!

When most people think of real estate investing, they think of rental property investing – buy a duplex, find a couple of renters, and collect monthly rent income. Sounds easy enough, but the reality can be quite different.

Even with a professional property management team on board, you as the landlord still have an active role in the investment.

The property managers may take care of the day-to-day issues, but you will still need to be involved in strategic decisions, including whether to evict tenants who aren’t paying, filing insurance claims when unexpected surprises happen, and sometimes having to put in additional funds to cover maintenance and repair costs. It’s a lot of work, but some people like being involved in the process.

As an investor, you should tailor investment decisions according to your goals and objectives.

❗ PROS AND CONS OF INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE ❗

PROS
A diversified portfolio can reduce risks by investing in multiple asset classes such as stocks, bonds, real estate funds, or REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts). Real estate investors can also enjoy additional rental income and tax benefits, improving their earnings.
Real estate investing is less volatile than the stock market. Home prices don’t usually experience short-term fluctuations like the stock market. Holding onto properties for more extended periods can reduce short-term volatility.

CONS
Investing in real estate is expensive and complex. It requires a significant upfront investment, and liquidating the investment is more complicated than selling stocks.
Investing in real estate can be more demanding than investing in stocks, especially managing rental properties. Investing in stocks or mutual funds requires less personal effort than owning properties.

The key to investing successfully is to first determine your own personal goals. Once you’ve established what you’d like to accomplish through investing, you can better decide which type of investment best aligns with your lifestyle and your personal tolerance for risk. Then you’re better equipped to choose the path that will ultimately help you meet those goals.

Real estate syndications are group investments that work by having a group of passive investors put their money together to purchase an asset. That asset creates continued cash flow and appreciates over time. To make the most of a deal, the whole syndication team needs to work together cohesively.

In addition to the roles listed above, there are also inspectors, appraisers, cost segregation specialists, CPA, legal team, and insurance agents who are integral to getting the syndication off the ground. The real estate syndications must comply with state securities laws, which vary by state.

We are committed to finding a team that looks after your money as if it were their own. Our team will keep you in the loop regarding the safety of your investment, and will always make decisions with your best interest at the forefront of our minds.
