Syndication Sponsors who have stood the test of time

[Andrey Y.]

Investing in syndications is a great option for those of us who like our free time. Let's discuss the state of syndication investments and syndicators in general. I have invested in it several asset classes to include large apartments, self storage, ATMs, and mobile home parks.

Lately, the amount of deals and folks raising capital has increased. The quality of the deals are either the same or getting worse. So, I wanted to know what you guys are doing now. Are you continuing to invest in similar kinds of deals with a questionable risk-adjusted return given the current climate, or are you holding more cash over the last couple of years?

I have a few firms that I really like and will continue to invest in them. However, I'm looking for a diversification geographically and in terms of asset class. This leads me to search for other sponsors who specialize in other areas. What have you found? I think mentioning firms on this thread that you have had a positive experience with is great and it's probably free advertising for them. I welcome PMs as well.

Specifically, I'm looking to branch out into flex properties, industrial, and assisted living facilities. I'm less familiar with these asset classes but always eager to learn and speak with folks involved in this. Also, firm who are doing multi-family particularly well are of interest. Thank you.

I second Jay's recommendations of @Brian Burke and @Ivan Barratt.  I have invested personally with both and they do comprehensive analysis and sound projections. 

I am looking to also diversify so love to connect @Michael Ealy and @Roni E. sometime and hear more about your projects.
