TOP 10 REASONS TO INVEST

One of the biggest reasons investors diversify their real estate investment portfolio is to mitigate risk exposure. The phrase “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” applies directly to this concept, as spreading your investment across a broad spectrum is how investors balance risk.

There are several types of diversification as by niche and geography.

Niche Diversification

Spreading investments amongst luxury propertiesis a great way to achieve this. Understand asset cycles and trends. Some areas like office may not do so well in a down economy where more stable assets like apartments, homes may hold up nicely.

Geographic Diversification

Another form of diversification within real estate syndication is geographically. Some of the best deals are out of state in growing markets. It can be very difficult trying to be an active out of state investor due to competition, relationships, market knowledge, etc but if you align yourself with a reputable, successful operator in that local market you can gain access to some great deals you otherwise wouldn’t have had access to.

When you invest the syndicator will handle all aspects of the deal: due diligence, locating a profitable properties, hiring and managing and so on. Investors will pay the syndicator via the performance of the deal with a split of the cash flow and appreciation.

In exchange for the sponsor fee, you are able to be completely passive as an investor.

When you invest in pooled investments that utilize LP and LLCs,   a whole new world of tax-deferred status is open to you. This structure allows you to compound 100% of the fund’s proceeds for years, as long as you do not distribute the gains outside of the fund.

Of course, when the property is sold, the investors will pay taxes on the gains they receive from distributions, but giving your money the chance to compound without paying taxes can completely change your portfolio’s trajectory. Note: Savvy syndicators will utilize 1031 exchanges to roll your investments into the next deal, thus pushing taxes off further.

Luxury properties syndication is a business that is valued primarily by its Net Operating Income (NOI), not by property comps. Through physical and operational improvements, you can increase the value of the property by increasing NOI.
Then you can add the appreciation of the property over time.

By investing with other investors through a syndicator with a proven track record, investment risk is dispersed among all the investors.

We all know that using an entity such as an LLC and LP are advisable when investing in real estate. However, when you invest in a real estate syndication with a sponsor, you add another layer of protection between you and any liability resulting from the fund’s managers or debt obligations.

In real estate syndications, there are typically two sides of the operating agreement: the “A Side,” which lists the managing members who are responsible for the decisions behind the fund, and the “B Side,” which lists the investors who bring only capital to the table. Under no circumstance will “B Side” investors be responsible for making management decisions of the fund, and, therefore, under no circumstance would a judge find the “B Side” investors liable for decisions made during the fund’s performance. This way you are completely removed from any lawsuits that may arise due to fund-related activities.
