Joint Venture vs Syndication

[Karen Margrave]

Have you had any experience with a JV or Syndication on real estate? What is the difference between a Joint Venture and Syndication when it comes to financing a larger real estate project?

I know with all the new regulations it's risky to advertise for investors, how then, does one go about finding Joint Venture or Syndication partners?

If you wanted to do a larger commercial project, what method would you choose for financing, in a situation where it would involve spec new construction and conventional financing wouldn't be possible.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR INVESTORS... I AM SIMPLY TRYING TO LEARN THE DIFFERENT POSSIBILITIES FOR FINANCING LARGER PROJECTS FROM OTHERS THAT HAVE DONE THEM, AND UNDERSTAND THE LAWS REGARDING ADVERTISING FOR FINANCIAL INVESTORS. I DO NOT HAVE A PROJECT I'M TRYING TO FUND.
