Welcome! Real Estate Syndication Offers a Wealth of Business Opportunities
 |
We've all heard the real estate gurus talk about the impressive profits to be made in real estate, regardless of market conditions.
But if you've been in real estate for a number of years buying and flipping properties, or using them long-term to generate income, and can't figure out how the "big guys" make the *huge* profits, then this newsletter is for you. In this issue, our experts discuss real estate syndication: the process of finding investors for commercial real estate deals that can deliver the really big profits you've been dreaming about.
To the uninitiated, real estate syndication can seem mysterious and complicated. A business entity regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, syndication deals must comply strictly with SEC rules and regulations. In her article, "How Real Estate Investors Make Big Money with Syndication," real estate expert Eileen Schwartz walks you through the syndication process step-by-step, explaining both the benefits and potential pitfalls. She also offers six must-ask questions to consider before becoming involved with a syndication deal.
The foundation of successful syndication is partnership and trust - with "trust" being the operative word. And, in order to build others' trust in you, you must establish your credibility as an honest and savvy real estate investor. In her article, "Establishing Your Credibility as a Serious Real Estate Investor," hard money expert Ann Bellamy offers eight essential steps you can take to build your reputation as a real estate partner who can generate business profits.

In this month's "Interview with the Expert," Kate Dobens, a real estate syndication expert, discusses how to use syndication to fund multi-family transactions. Kate and her husband manage over $18 million in multi-family assets; Kate credits her success with the fact that she approaches her deals from a business - versus "four walls and some land" - perspective.
And finally, in this month's Mortgage Minute, Debbie Siegel reveals the truth about mortgage lending websites. Although they're pitched as empowering consumers, these sites are anything but. Learn what happens when you submit your personal information - and why you may want to steer clear in the future.
