I own a small commercial building in Culver City that I just finished entitling for conversion into a 7-room boutique micro-hotel. I'm a hotel operator and licensed GC, and this is my fourth adaptive-reuse project. What interests me more than this one property is whether this can become a repeata...
I know this is not REI, but this passive oil/gas fund was recommended by a RE syndicator/fundraiser. I wanted to share my experiences and see if any other BP members wanted to share input or notes. KING: I invested with Jay Young and his team based on a recommendation from Sarah Sullivan at SuGo ...
Hello, I’m developing a vision for quality, affordable housing in California and I'm looking to connect with professionals that have already done this or are well educated experienced investors, developers, and housing professionals who can help me understand the path from concept to construction.
A PassivePockets sponsor recently stopped accepting capital from our members because answering their due diligence questions was taking too much time away from operating the business. The sponsor also returned one member’s investment. It’s not something I’ve encountered before, and I’m curious ho...
I'm curious if anyone else has been seeing this shift. Over the last several months I've been working with a group of experienced operators focused on ground-up luxury residential development, and one trend has become pretty obvious. A number of investors who traditionally owned rentals or self-m...
I’m looking for honest feedback from people who have invested passively, partnered as capital, or evaluated small multifamily/JV structures. Most passive real estate investing conversations seem to center around syndications, funds, or larger operators. I’m curious how investors think about the s...
I've been starting to hear rumors that Brandon Turner's company Open Door Capital has been losing a lot of investor money. I haven't really followed what he's been up to since he left BiggerPockets, but since I started hearing all of these rumors about mismanaged money and poorly performing inves...
What experience, ability and capacity does the syndicator have to manage the asset IF THINGS GO SOUTH? This is very different skill than managing an asset that performs profitably. 1. Has the syndicator successfully handled negative investment situations before? 2. Is the syndicator able to MITIG...
Curious where everyone stands on this. I've always been in the mindset that if I'm investing in real estate, I want to own the deal, control the decisions, and be hands-on. Lately, though, I've been meeting more investors who'd rather put capital behind experienced operators than manage projects ...
Have people had positive experiences with the Passive Pockets membership? I'm debating whether to sign up but I'm wondering how others have used it/found it most useful. It's currently $395/year. Thoughts?
Why is successful passive investing in Real Estate so difficult? Well, two reasons 1. The passive investor is attempting to obtain a higher risk reward ROI than the general market allows.

Disclosure: I syndicate real estate deals AND invest in other syndicators deals. Here are the three most important requirements imo. 1. Experience of syndicator/manager with the particular subject property type 2. Alignment of syndicators interest with investors interest - bulk of syndicators “pr...
Greetings Pocketeers! Has anyone had experience with this company and investing in their promissory notes. I am interested in investing in something a bit more passive as I am getting older and, while I love the real estate asset class, I do recognize the need for multiple streams of income. IT s...
I've formed a syndication firm and I am looking for some advice. At the firm that I work at, I have a track record in finding and helping acquire large multifamily in the widest.

This is from a blog post PPM Law A friends and family round is still a sale of securities, which means securities law applies to it exactly the way it applies to a raise from strangers.

Hi, I am considering investing on a multi-family syndication with Viking Capital. Looks like they have done around 25 syndications worth $800M in property value. Founders are Vikram Raya and Ravi Gupta. If you have had any experience with Viking Capital I would appreciate any feedback on your exp...
Thought it would be worth letting the community know what is happening over there. Invested in their fund in 2022. Given the unusual environment of near zero interest rates, knew there could be choppy waters ahead with rising interest rates coming soon. Given the level of uncertainty at that time...
