Why You Need to Vet The Operator Along With The Deal

If you are potentially considering investing in a multifamily syndication, there's a number of different items you need to review and number one is the sponsor and/or operator, so generally, you want to understand, how do you know this person, where has a relationship come from and ideally what is the track record of this operator.

If it's their first indication, have they been successful in past business opportunities are they successful in their career, what have they done to complete other transactions outside of this if they've done other opportunities, how are those going, have brought reposition and sold or are the current acquisitions actually, meaning they're pro forma numbers, they had put up to investors, so it's important to make sure as you're sizing these things up, just to really have a good look at the operator, make sure they have a sound business plan, make sure they've have good guidance and if they're beginning and at a newer stage, that's okay, maybe they're very successful at other applications of business, but you do want to make sure they have a lot of the necessary time to make this a significantly successful investment for you.

Beyond that, you want to make sure that they are surrounding themselves with other successful individuals, who have syndication experience, why do they like this market in general compared to all the other markets across the U.S., do they have a local management company. The very purpose has a lot of potentials, there has a lot of experience in this market as well, so those are some of the main components to look out for there and if you do this, you're going to have the best opportunity to consider past that, what the deal looks like, but this would be a caveat, is that there every opportunity can be made to look good and a bad operator can make a deal that's great go bad and a good operator can make a deal that has some things that set it off track go great.
