Partnering as Investors on Syndications - Is It Possible?

[Daniel Dietz]

Hello All, 
Both I and my current investing partner for buy-n-holds have been interested in investing in Syndication some time in the near future. They are Accredited and I am not, but qualify as 'Sophisticated'. Due to recent rule changes limiting how much sophisticated investors can put into a syndication it sounds like most Syndicators are no longer going to allow their participation. 

I am wondering if there is a legal way for me to invest in conjunction with my partner by either giving them, loaning them or some other form other than an actual partnership where the investing would be done in their name only?

Not trying to break any rules, just see what the options are :-) An example would be that years ago we 'flipped a lot' where we each put in half the money but it was all done in their name. We split things 50-50 after capital gains taxes - so something like that.

Thanks, Dan Dietz
