Why Invest in Multifamily Syndications?

Tax Incentives

Owning apartments comes with it’s own unique set of advantages - ideal for those in retirement.

Stability compared to stocks

Real estate is less volatile and has historically outperformed the stock market making it ideal for long-term growth.

Earn like a landlord, without being one.

The beauty of owning large apartment communities is utilizing professional property management to handle all of the day to day operations and maintenance.

Collective buying power

When we leverage the buying power of a group of investors we can buy larger, more stable properties with higher upside potential.

Why Invest in Multifamily Syndications?

How much time should I expect to spend?

We love this question because you will be so happy with the answer. NONE. Once you've invested in the property, the only time you'll have to dedicate is the time to read the monthly updates we share with you, or to grab a coffee together so we can share updates on the property. You don't have to do a thing.

What questions should I ask before investing?

You should ask about the teams experience and ask for referrals to investors that have worked with them. Here's a few simple questions you should plan to ask:

- "How do you mitigate the risk of your investors?"
- "How well do you know the asset management team?"
- "Tell me about your track record"
- "How have you stress-tested the business plan to make sure it's solid?"
- "How did you come up with the numbers you used to underwrite the property?"
- "Walk me through your business plan for this property."

Do I “own” the property?

YES! When you invest in a syndication you become a partial/fractional owner of the property. Your ownership amount is directly proportional to the amount you invest.

Are there tax benefits?

The tax benefits are the best part! Especially as a real estate professional, you are uniquely situated to benefit even more than the average person. Depreciation and bonus depreciation are two of the biggest benefits associated with investing in this particular type of real estate. We're not tax professionals so we recommend you work with a CPA to confirm exactly what your unique situation would entitle you to. We also have CPA's who are experts in this area that we can recommend to you.

Can I use my self-directed IRA? Roth IRA? 401(k)?

If you have a self-directed IRA you can absolutely use those funds to invest in a syndication! Again, we recommend working with your CPA, financial planner or retirement account custodians to be totally sure, but we can help you through the process!

Start Building Income. Start Living Freely.

Stop stressing about the markets. Start creating steady income and peace of mind in retirement.
