Investing as a group

[Stuart Van Ess]

I am fairly new to large scale investing in relation to multi-family apartment complexes. I have done my DD on a potential new-build investment and have a few individuals I am partnering with to raise some capital for an equity interest. My question is this: how should I go about structuring my interest in the property? Meaning: should I create and LLC for myself and bring the equity that way, or should I create an LLC with the partners and create an ownership structure of the LLC proportionate to each individual's investment? Other suggestions?

thanks all!

@Stuart Van Ess Either way you structure, just make sure the difference between Syndications and a few partners that you know for a joint venture. Advertising out for people to put money into an investment strategy needs to be structured as a syndications and this involves securities. Please seek legal help either way

Good luck
