Thanks for all of the comments/advice. I think it sounds like a solid opportunity. We've had other opportunities like this come and go and people who invested in the prior ones are happy. This is the first one I've had the opportunity to invest in. The only real "downside" to it I can see is that part of the contract is a non-compete clause of greater radius than my current one. But I don't intend to leave my job any time soon.

I am a member of a large surgical specialty group. When the group expands its office space, the funding typically comes from the partners of the group. A new office building is being proposed and everyone in the group has an opportunity to invest. I'm relatively early on in my career and don't want to go "all in" but I do have some cash set aside for a small interest in the project. These real estate funds are a separate LLC from the group's partnership. The good news is that as soon as the new office building is finished it will be fully occupied by physicians in my group and ancillary services that we own. Regardless of the number of occupying physicians, the overall lease amount paid is the same (their individual overhead just varies depending on occupancy). That said, if the lease is set at a fair market value then the cash-on-cash return on the investment is targeted at about 8%. Plus when I retire or change jobs I'll get a check for whatever my initial investment is worth at the time. The locations have been aggressively researched to ensure there is a market for the services we provide. It seems like a fairly safe investment overall, but I wanted to see what others would have to say about it? Thanks
