Apartment syndication deals

[Nathanael Greene]

I have been learning a lot about syndication and deal structures. I am curious to know if investing in 100 units-150 units a year through syndication is reasonable or is that too much ,too fast? Is it feasible to do acquire 150 units a year and work my way up to let’s say 3,000 units? Of course I realize this would take time as in 20-30 years but I want to know if my idea and thinking is correct and attainable.

@Nathanael Greene Are you asking about investing as a Limited Partner? In that case, the # of units you are invested in doesn't tell the full story. For example, you could invest $50k into a syndication. Or you could invest $500k into that same syndication. You still own the same # of units, but the % of the deal you own will be different. 

Regarding how fast you can scale your investment portfolio, there are a number of factors: 

1. How much money you are starting with. 

2. How much will you be able to invest over the next few years. 

3. And how quickly your deals refinance and/or exit so that you can redeploy your money into new deals.
