management or the hustle and bustle of the local market. With real estate syndications, after the initial funding, self-directed accounts grow over time. When the investment has reached the point when it’s time to exit, the deal sponsors will liquidate the investment, and you see a lump sum of dividends return to your self-directed account. Another benefit is the possibility of generating a big profit, larger than the average single-family investment. Most syndications give their investors double-digit returns. The last benefit of real estate
definition also extends to pooling intellectual resources in order to make educated decisions about the properties you and your partners invest in. In a syndicated relationship, one party may invest the money, while another invests labor and time to find the property and run the day-to-day operations. Investors hold various roles when they get involved in syndications. Some of the key roles that come together to make a real estate syndication happen are the general partners or sponsors, key principals, passive investors, and the lender and broker. The party investing the labor in the property is called the sponsor. Typically, the general partners include both the deal sponsor and the operator, but it’s important to note that sometimes these can be
the same person. Sponsors usually still invest some money, but the amount is much smaller than what the passive investors put in. Often, you’ll see syndicated partnerships structured as an LLC.
PROS AND CONS OF SYNDICATIONS
Syndications offer numerous benefits. One of the biggest is accessibility. Although single‑family property may be more difficult to locate, there are still a ton of syndications, including many that are happy to pull funds from Self-Directed IRAs. Real estate syndications are a great way to be passive if you want to be more hands-off, and self-directed multifamily investors don’t have to deal with
syndications is the ability to quickly get projects off the
ground. If you have a property you are interested in, syndication is one of the best ways to get the investment going fast.
