Why Invest in Multi-family?

Cash Flow-icon

Cash Flow

Passive commercial real estate investments will typically generate positive cash flow which are distributed either monthly or quarterly to investors.

Leverage

Real estate allows for the use of leverage, meaning you can use borrowed funds to increase your investment potential.

Equity

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Appreciation

Multifamily properties tend to appreciate in value over time, especially in high-demand areas.

Tax Benefits

Pass-through depreciation expense of the assets to investors, can provide significant tax benefits.

Diversification

Direct multifamily investments and their performance are not closely correlated to the stock market, thus providing a hedge against the volatility of your stock and bond portfolio

WHAT IS A SYNDICATION?

A real estate syndication is a partnership where a group of investors pool their capital together to purchase large assets that might otherwise be difficult for someone to finance individually. The typical structure consists of General Partners (“GP”s) and Limited Partners (“LP”s).
The General Partner, or Syndicator, is responsible for deal sourcing, due diligence, financing, property acquisition, managing the property from acquisition, signing the loan, overseeing and managing the renovation(s), as well as daily operations. They have full liability over the company and its decisions.
Limited Partners are passive partners who invest in a portion of the equity investment and typically are not involved in the daily responsibilities of the company and have no personal liability beyond their investment . Although they are passive investors, Limited Partners are responsible for conducting their own due diligence on the syndicator and the investment opportunity before committing capital.
