Quote from @Don Konipol:

For whatever class of investment you invest in via syndications, what MINIMUM ROI do you look for? To start I'll state mine

1. private/hard money loans - 11%

2. Well established multi family with max tax benefits - 7.5% 

3. Value added commercial - 12%

4. Land speculation - 20 + %


I'm interested in learning what other passive investments investors are seeking as to ROI?


1. I'm actively doing PML on industrial 10% with points,12 month prepay. Typically bridge loans with 60-70% LTV

2. No multi

3. Value add 2x EM in 3-5 years

4. Land 3-5x EM in 2 years, but with a back up development plan/capability

Quote from @Julie Knutson:

It is my understanding that the Dept of Homeland Security, last year sent out a letter asking for specific investor information, as all partners being disclosed is now required. I would create a transparent LLC in the state where the property is located. I believe these new requirements are to track foreign investments.
Unless you have a large portfolio spread over different states with ownership by different investor groups, and differnt LLC's for each.
Whether large or small, I would keep it simple, and transparent, get advice from a good attorney, accountant and insurance agent. 


 DHS does not have jurisdiction over state formed LLCs. If you're referring to FINCEN and the beneficial owner information reports, those have been back and forth in courts for constitutionality. Right now, there is no federal obligation to provide BOI to the feds.

If I'm cherry picking accurate numbers, yes, its a good deal for the lease. But there's a lot of risk in small towns. 

What is market rent if they vacate? Term left?

Its office ?medical office?

I don't think its fair to paint entire massive CRE asset classes with the same brush. You can find a singular good deal in both classes. Just set what you think is a good deal and start firing off LOIs.

not a lot of upside to a buyer just getting the privilege of bidding on a trophy asset for lots of risk.

You need to create objective data. Not just feeling 5% off. If it was for my business 5% of Purchase Price is worth it for the control of my site. Is it a single tenant with multiple units, or other tenants paying rent?


 We'd be purchasing our unit, which is one of many in a condo/retail mixed use space. And yes, I am in the process of collecting my own data. There are not many retail buildings for sale in the area and it's been really hard to pull comps on my own. This is one reason I will talk to my agent about adjusting commission. 


 Oh, if its just a condo unit, I'd focus on the lease. get a good long term lease, don't buy a single condo unit.

You may not need an agent since you already have the building and pricing guidance.

Definitely hire an attorney, don't rely on boilerplate forms. Lender is not your friend.
