How long does a real estate syndication last?

[Justin Goodin]

Unlike an online stock, ETF, or mutual fund that can be exchanged daily or more, real estate syndications come with required, projected hold times. While each real estate syndication is different, we typically see hold times of 5-7 years, sometimes longer.

Real estate syndication deals have to allow time for property renovations, management changes, occupancy rate increases, and even market conditions to adjust. This means that you should plan to invest your capital for 5-7 years (or the timeline stated on the investment summary & memorandum), because you will not be able to take your money out until the asset is sold.
