Real estate syndication deals are available on multifamily properties, self-storage, manufactured home parks, land development, hotels, student housing, warehouses, and more. Some real estate syndications are for ground-up construction and others are for buy-and-hold (i.e., buy an asset that’s already stabilized, and hold it for a number of years).
A great example of a value-add multifamily deal is an apartment community whose units haven’t been updated in ten years. The kitchens are all dated, the carpets are worn, and the landscaping needs some work.
By making those improvements, we can increase the rents, which increases the income of the property and thus, the overall value.
@Justin G. you've mentioned ways to increase income, which i agree are very powerful, but another often overlooked aspect is decreasing expenses which also contributes to an increased NOI. Leveraging economies of scale, increasing operational/management efficiencies, RUBs, streamlining turnovers, etc. are all great ways to value-add.
