If syndicator is building reserves for the first year of ownership, for instance, and not paying distributions, AND recognizes rental profit, you will have a larger tax bill that year, since you "made money" in the IRS's eyes, even though you did not receive any cashflow from your syndicator.On a more general note, a preferred return does not mean you will get that amount of cash flow each year.
