Investing In A Syndication For The First Time

[Justin Goodin]

When you first begin to consider real estate syndication as an investment option, it can feel lonely, intimidating, or even like you’re going in blindfolded.

I personally experienced fears around investing in a property I’d never seen, concern about how I’d get my money back, and doubt around the inability to log into an account and see my money.

If you’re considering your first syndication and feeling hesitant, I recommend doing your research, connecting with other investors, reading through previous deals, and taking your time. But don't be afraid to take action!

In my opinion, the sponsor is more important than the deal itself. Analyze the sponsor FIRST and the deal second. 

There are tons of deals going around, but what makes the sponsor and their team unique? If you have passively invested, what gave you confidence to invest with that particular GP team?
