I had a meeting set up at Starbucks with a potential investor, Stu. Why Starbucks? You probably guessed it\u2014it offers a comfortable and semi-private setting for people to have a conversation and enjoy a Grande cup of expensive (yet mediocre) coffee. Consequently, Stu and I both opted for bottled water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From a cursory look, Stu was a regular guy who blended in, which obfuscated just how much cash he has been sitting on for quite some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We exchanged the usual pleasantries and went through the normal banter about appreciating warmer weather so early in the spring. I inquired about Stu\u2019s family. He described his family: his wife of 30-plus years and his two kids, both of whom were grown and lived on their own. So then I pressed on to ask Stu about his investment goals. He paused for a second, and then in his own quiet way inquired about my background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I shared my story, our conversation flowed as if we were old friends. I weaved in a few more questions about Stu\u2019s and his wife\u2019s professional journeys. He casually responded that in the past they both had worked at banks, but they retired early to enjoy life. I was simultaneously impressed and surprised since I don\u2019t meet many retirees who prefer to diversify into new types of investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why the wealthy choose syndications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I decided to ask Stu directly: \u201cIf you are already enjoying your retirement, then you don\u2019t really need more money to build your wealth, do you?\u201d Stu basically agreed, and elaborated that his and his wife\u2019s main goal was to continue building their wealth in order to help others re-create what they were able to retain and produce for their family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, I asked about how they were able to build their wealth? He smiled and admitted that most of his family\u2019s wealth had originally been built by his parents\u2014mainly his father who had discovered real estate syndications long before home computers existed, and back when real estate syndications were called &#8220;private placements.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this point, Stu said that he didn\u2019t quite understand how so many well-off people (like his family) have been able to take advantage of real estate syndications, while many other investors are missing the boat. &#8220;Certainly,&#8221; Stu mused, &#8220;there are risks associated with this type of investment just as there would be with any other, but the benefits far outweigh the risks.&#8221; So, Stu and I discussed the aspects that people should consider before investing in real estate syndications. They are conveniently identified and discussed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A true passive investment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your job is to research and understand what syndication is, and then how to evaluate an offering; at that point, your work is pretty much done. So if an investor has a primary business or practice, or is a professional with a successful career, or is simply enjoying their life and doesn\u2019t want to spend time dealing with tenants or toilets, then investing in syndications is the way to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preserving your capital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it depends on each specific investor\u2019s strategy, many look to find ways to keep risks low and minimize losses. It is not uncommon for syndications to earn on average 8-10% of cash-on-cash return over an approximate five-to-ten-year period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the stock market targets around 7% annual return, it has many drawbacks. Most notably, the stock market doesn\u2019t offer nearly as many tax benefits, and it is absolutely unpredictable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relying on calculated risk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to real estate investing, diligent underwriting is critical. Experienced syndication operators ensure that the risks associated with a particular investment are accounted for in their underwriting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leveraging tax advantages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is absolutely no doubt that real estate is one of the most intelligent ways to reduce your tax burden. This can be accomplished in a number of ways: depreciation, cost segregation, 1031 exchanges, Opportunity Zones, and tax-loss harvesting (just to name a few). And all of the aforementioned tax strategies may be utilized when investing in a variety of real estate syndications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In general, real estate offers great tax benefits. It all comes down to hiring an expert CPA who is not only knowledgeable regarding tax compliance, but is also real estate savvy and can offer tax strategies to help you plan ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Generating residual income<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You review the offerings, make a decision as to which individual asset or real estate fund to invest in, subscribe, and wire the funds. That\u2019s it; your work is done. Really? Yes, really! From this point on, you sit back and allow the operator to do their job, while you collect your monthly or quarterly dividends directly in your bank account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Risks to consider<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No investment is without risk. Here are some things to consider before diving into syndications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No management decisions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you invest passively in a syndication, you are essentially giving up your right to participate in the decision-making process for this investment. This comes with a bonus though: you\u2019re investing as a limited partner, and hence your liabilities are limited to your original investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It&#8217;s not your typical liquid investment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you buy a stock or a mutual fund (or anything on the stock exchange, for that matter), you technically can sell it any time you want. This sort of liquidity is not possible in real estate syndications. The way real estate syndications are structured, an investor basically invests and forgets about it until the deal has a capital event or the property is sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is some flexibility, however, when it comes to investing in closed-ended funds. Closed-ended funds usually have a so-called &#8220;lockdown period&#8221;\u2014which may be a year or two\u2014after which you\u2019re free to take your investment out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Longer duration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you plan to invest in a value-add type of project or even new construction, be prepared for the long haul. It may take a while for a project to go through its full cycle. A common underwriting period is usually five to seven years. So as long as you invest money on which you will not be relying within that time period, you are good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Grow your wealth through passive investments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As one of my most favorite investors of all time, Warren Buffett, once said, \u201c<em>If you don\u2019t find ways to make money while you\u2019re asleep, you are going to work till the day you die.<\/em>\u201d So, the greater the number of these passive investments that are ongoing simultaneously, the better off you are. Not only are they generating passive income, but they are also helping you save on taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before leaving Starbucks and going our separate ways, I asked Stu if this was enough material for him to start spreading the word\u2014so that more people could start taking advantage of the same strategy that well-off folks like him had for years. Stu looked at his notes, nodded, and thanked me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After all these years, I still think back to that conversation with Stu about the incredible investing strategy that: one, generates passive income for you while you sleep; two, allows you to save on taxes; and three, in some cases, also makes a positive impact on communities. I hope you can take something from this and apply it to your own investing plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n  <div id=\"posts_lists-block_6092c547d92e4\" class=\"  my-10\">\n    <div class=\"\">\n      <!-- Column One -->\n      <div>\n                  <h2 class=\"mt-0 mb-1 js-toc-ignore\">\n            More on syndications from BiggerPockets          <\/h2>  \n                  \n        \n        \n        <div class=\"grid grid-cols-1 gap-y-4 lg:gap-y-7 mt-5\">\n          \n<article \n\tid=\"post-120131\" \n\tclass=\"content-card mb-0 flex flex-col  post-120131 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-deal-analysis\">\n\n\t<header class=\"entry-header\">\t\t\t\n\t\t<!-- Image -->\n        \t\t\t<a class=\"post-thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/syndication-passive-investor\" target=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"338\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/woman-investor.jpg\" class=\"size-card w-full  m-0 aspect-[68\/45] object-scale-down wp-post-image\" alt=\"7 Things to Look for When Evaluating Real Estate Syndications\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/woman-investor.jpg 830w, https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/woman-investor-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/woman-investor-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 338px) 100vw, 338px\" title=\"\">\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t        \n\n\t\t<!-- Content Wrapper -->\n\t\t<div class=\"py-4 \">\t\n                            <div class=\"flex gap-4 justify-between items-center\">\n                    <!-- Category  -->\n                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/category\/buying-selling\/deal-analysis\" class=\"transition-colors bg-themeBlue\/20 text-themeBlue-medium hover:bg-themeBlue hover:text-white px-2 py-1 mb-2 inline-block rounded-sm no-underline text-sm\" target=\"_blank\">Finding Deals<\/a>\n                    \n                                            <span class=\"text-sm text-gray-500 hidden lg:inline-block\">5 min read<\/span>\n                                    <\/div>\n            \n           <div class=\"flex gap-3 items-center my-2 flex-nowrap text-base\">\n                <!-- Avatar and Author Name -->\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bp-wp-migration.s3.amazonaws.com\/author_avatars\/286556.jpg\" class=\"w-8 h-8 object-cover my-0 inline-block rounded-full\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><span class='leading-snug text-slate-500 flex items-center'><span class='hidden whitespace-nowrap sm:inline-block md:hidden lg:inline-block pr-1'><span class='posted-on'><time class=\"entry-date published\" datetime=\"2019-12-14T14:30:13-07:00\">Dec 14, 2019<\/time><time class=\"updated\" datetime=\"2023-03-20T10:45:34-06:00\">Mar 20, 2023<\/time><\/span><\/span>&nbsp;<a href='https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/contributors\/jaychang' class='no-underline line-clamp-1' target=\"_blank\">Jay Chang<\/a><\/span>            <\/div>\n\n            <!-- Post title -->\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"entry-title js-toc-ignore mt-4 mb-0 text-xl leading-snug text-left\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/syndication-passive-investor\" rel=\"bookmark\"  \n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"whitespace-normal no-underline font-bold  text-slate visited:text-slate hover:text-themeBlue\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t7 Things to Look for When Evaluating Real Estate Syndications\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\n                        <p class=\"text-lg font-normal mt-3 text-slate-500 mb-1 line-clamp-3\">Investing in a syndication is not as intimidating as you think!
