Key Terms

Real Estate Syndication is a way for investors to pool their capital together. This allows investors to increase their buying power for the purpose of investing in real estate.

General Partner, or “GP”, is the leading party in the syndication that orchestrates the deal. The GP conducts due diligence, executes the business plan, and distributes returns.

Limited Partner, or “LP”, is a passive investor who invests their money (Cash/401k/IRA) into a project in exchange for equity. Their role is to be passive.

Accredited Investor is an investor qualified to participate as a Limited Partner by having annual income of $200k, $300k jointly, or a net worth of $1M (excluding primary residence). Full SEC Definition

Private Placement Memorandum, or “PPM”, is an offering document that outlines the investment opportunity which includes: the risks associated with the deal, the business plan, projected returns, and return distribution terms.

Distributions are profits from the syndicated property that are distributed among investors on a periodic basis from rent collection, as well as after the refinance or sale event.

Equity Multiple is defined as the total cash distributions received from an investment, divided by the total equity invested during the investment period.

Lower Risk

With rental income coming from a diversified pool of tenants, multi-family real estate has a big advantage compared to shopping centers, warehouses, or office buildings where a majority of their income is generated from a few anchor tenants.

  • Diversified Tenant Base
  • High Demand, Limited Supply
  • Greater Economies of Scale
  • Preferential Investment for Financing

Benefits of Real Estate

Many investors understand that real estate builds wealth more consistently than other investment vehicles.

Cash Flow

Rent minus expenses equals cash flow. Collect more rent each month to outweigh expenses and become cash flow positive.

Diversification

With a low correlation to other major asset classes, spreading risk across multiple asset classes reduces volatility.

Depreciation

Write off a part of your property’s value each year to offset your tax liability for income & capital gains earned as an investor.

Build Equity

As the mortgage is paid down, or by adding value to the asset, the value of the property increases, ultimately building equity.

Appreciation

The increase of price in an invested asset drives higher value, generating capital gains in real estate over time.

Leverage

When debt is used to purchase property, investors can achieve a higher ROI than otherwise possible.

Risk-Adjusted Returns

When comparing average annual returns, investors who diversify into real estate tend to outperform those who do not.

Hedge Against Inflation

As prices of goods and services increase over time, investing in real estate has proven to outperform inflation.
