I'm accredited and looking for a syndication deal, and wanting to get into passive investing. I'm learning a ton but there seems to be a gap in finding syndications.
Where would someone that is starting out find syndication deals to review. I found one group how would I find other syndications to compare them to?i
Im in the same boat(looking for decent offerings for my first syndication investment)… I've seen many people who reply on multi family posts on here are usually either a mentorship program salesperson or a syndicator with an offering

I'd like to start syndicating deals and I am thinking a good way to start might be by investing in a fund. Can some of you fellow investors/passive investors give some pointers on how you choose the fund to invest in?
Thanks

If the class(a,b,c,) of an apartment building is based on the year it was built than what specifically determines the class of the area? And is the year built how most of you determine the building class?
Thanks

Hi there
Does anyone know of any good funds or projects with high IRR apart from the ones on crowdstreet and realtymogul?
Thanks!
Can you define what High IRR means to you? You can invest in class D areas that on paper will show a high IRR of 20% but I would not touch it with a ten foot pole, but in same breath I would consider a 10% IRR where there is no leverage and low investment to value.

Quote from @Greg Kasmer:
Jay - I think it's best to start talking to investors well in advance of the active deal. You can do this by sharing an example deal to them and guaging their interest level and triage their initial questions. At the end, you can ask "If I come across an opportunity similar to this would I be able to share it with you?". When you actually have a deal under agreement you're not starting from scratch and can talk through any nuances about the deal relative to your previous conversations with that investor. Good Luck!
Greg- thank you for your feedback. I actually have a sample deal package I put together. Now do you think I should just hit the phones and emails and just start pitching? Do you think I should secure a KP before talking to potential investors? Would love to jump on a call when free. Thanks!

@Jay Ben, the simple answer is email. But this implies that you already have a list of investors that you can email.
Your question implies that you don't have a list, and then it comes down to business development to develop a list of leads. And that is simply networking over and over and over. Meetups, professional groups, friends and family, referrals, etc.
So I have a spreadsheet of MF owners contact info. Do you recommend I reach out to them before sending them a deck? I see your feedback often on here and I would love to connect with you on a call.

Where do you go if friends and family is not an option? Looking for some tips on how to raise capital. Ive heard some use equity brokers.
How would you approach a private equity firm? get in touch with acquisition manager, assets manager and pitch them?
