Great points from @Doug Smith and some I will be leveraging in my own work.We do some "pitching" of startups to landlords and while not a 1:1 comparison we generally also leverage the credibility of the team or consultants that the startup is using to mitigate their risk. 

It’s crucial to run the numbers and consult with a lender who can tailor solutions based on the specific investment goals.Best regards, Stevan 

You should also check to ensure they have Errors & Omissions insurance, Fidelity Bond coverage, and a Financial Institution Blanket Bond.Some are more consultative and advisory and provide guidance, while others are just processors. 

I would definitely consult with a lender first since I am not completely sure. 

Rud, Syndication deals (and crowdfunding deals which are essentially syndications that are allowed to market over the Internet) can be set up in numerous different ways.So there isn't going to be one single answer for this.To answer your question, I am not an accountant and you should always consult with your own tax accountant before making any investment decision.

Someone who gets prospects on the phone all day, tries to get them interested, qualifies them and then connects to them to a "consultant" who pitches the various investments they are touting that week. 

Good luck I had a call with a FINRA compliance consultant today and discussed the sponsor exemption.

Be sure to consult with local experts, evaluate cash flow, understand tenant laws, and negotiate with the seller for the best outcome.Good luck!
