I’m sure some on here have experience. Anyone care to share their experiences.

As someone who doesn’t have time to be a landlord, these sound interesting. But I don’t want to end up as a cautionary tale of someone who ends up on American Greed.

Seems like some I’ve seen online have minimum invested of 75k or so.

Just light your money on fire instead, Less heartache with the same loss.

Real estate is in a tricky spot, you often won't have any legal right to the property and just "shares" in the company managing it, they're typically going for multi-family or large housing developments that have nowhere near a guaranteed or imminent return.

If you have the money to play with, buy a property and hire complete property management. If you don't feel like you have enough to do that, then you shouldn't be risking this amount with these dubious schemes.

I've been involved in one for the last 4yrs and the plan is to sell next year. We've received quarterly payments and reporting since the purchase. The minimum was $50k. I've been studying syndications since 2018 and just haven't tried the GP route yet.

Investing in syndications really depends on the operator (GP) and their experience level. So it's really important that you invest with someone that knows what they're doing or has a sponsor with the experience.

I'd recommend you participate in the meetings where operators try to pitch investors for their deals just so you can get accustomed to the language and the type of questions you should be asking as an LP.

No doubt there are shitty deals and scumbags taking advantage of people but this is far different from my experience.

It’s crucial to find the right professionals with a history of structuring successful deals along with the ability or contacts to properly operate whatever the project is. You also want to see a sizable investment in the project from the GP & managing group. If the project will be as good as they say they will be in on it too. The good deals are run by pros who know what they are doing.

I’m invested in an apt building in NY city. Was a rehab & operate project. Also in an extended stay deal with 5 properties in 3 southern states. Extended stay occupancy rates are better than hotels and private equity has been accumulating properties. Both syndicates plan to operate for 3-5 years and sell to PE.
