A Brief Overview of Real Estate Syndication

​Real estate syndication is an investment method in which a group of people combine their financial resources and expertise to develop, acquire, manage, and profit from large real estate properties. 

It has two key players: investors and a syndicator. The syndicator identifies lucrative real estate investment opportunities, conducts due diligence, sources funding to acquire identified properties, and manages them, ensuring profitability once bought. They receive a management fee and have a personal stake in the investment.

The investors contribute the money syndicators use to develop or acquire real estate and become part owners through partnership interest or shares. They receive a monthly or quarterly dividend from the rental income the properties generate, and they can also benefit from property appreciation and real estate tax breaks if they choose to sell their shares.

Moreover, real estate syndication allows individual investors to access vast and more promising property deals, like self-storage facilities, apartment complexes, mobile home parks, and commercial buildings. It also allows them to own property without worrying about actively managing it, as they can rely on the syndicator to professionally oversee the day-to-day running of a property, increasing the chances of an investment success.
