What questions should I ask before investing with a commercial real estate syndication sponsor? |
|
What is the sponsor's track record?
What is my projected return on investment? When can I expect distributions? How much capital is the sponsor committing? What are the fees associated with my investment? A commercial real estate syndicate is a group of private investors who pool their money to finance a large real estate project. Syndication allows each investor to participate in a project that requires a down payment larger than any of the investors could individually afford. As syndications are a way to pool money from multiple investors to accomplish a common investment goal. In real estate, this typically involves pooling equity to purchase a property, frequently leveraged with a commercial loan, with the intention of improving or holding it for appreciation and cash flow. |
