Securities Offering Documentation
When it comes to investing in an apartment building syndication, you will have to review a number of documents including but not limited to executive summary, private placement memorandum, subscription agreement, operating agreement, and several others. Let’s cover each of them separately: 1. An Executive Summary is a document that covers the investment itself; it details the location, the description of the building, and offers basic current income and expenses data. It also details the projected returns, and offers a comparison with other compatible buildings in the area. In layman terms, the Executive Summary helps you understand what are you getting yourself into. 2. A Private Placement Memorandum is a document that states all of the information an investor needs to know in order to make an informed decision about investing in an Regulation D offering. It also includes a copy of the executive summary. 3. A Subscription Agreement is an agreement by a company to sell a certain number of shares in a company at a specific price per share, and an agreement by an investor to buy certain number of shares in a company. 4. An Operating Agreement is a legal document that outlines the ownership and member duties of your Limited Liability Company.
Note, this article is intended to provide you with a high level overview of the documents that you as an investor in a syndication may have to review. For more details, I suggest to consult with a real estate attorney or read this article:
