What is a real estate syndication?

A real estate syndication is a partnership between investors to pool resources to invest in large real estate projects, such as commercial properties, apartment complexes, or hotels. As a passive investor, you provide capital, and the syndication sponsors manage the investment on your behalf.

What kind of returns can I expect from investing in syndications or funds?

Returns vary depending on the asset class, the market, and the investment terms, but typical investments offer preferred returns, cash flow distributions, and capital appreciation upon sale. We aim for above-market returns compared to traditional investments like stocks or bonds. Additionally, our investors benefit from cost-segregation depreciation schedules, which can create considerable tax savings. For specific details and how this impacts your situation, we recommend consulting with a CPA.

How long is the typical investment period?

Most real estate syndications and funds have a minimum hold period of 3-7 years, depending on the investment strategy. We provide regular updates and performance reports throughout the investment term.

What are the risks involved with real estate investing?

Like all investments, real estate involves risks. These can include market fluctuations, economic downturns, or property management challenges. At Gould Capital, we mitigate risk by conducting in-depth due diligence, diversifying across asset classes, and employing experienced managers.

What is the minimum investment required?

Minimum investment amounts vary by project but typically range between $100,000 to $250,000. Details for each opportunity are provided in our investment summaries.

Will I have to manage the property or be involved in day-to-day decisions?

No. As a passive investor, you won't have to deal with tenants, property maintenance, or management decisions. Our expert team and partners handle every aspect of the investment, so you can focus on other priorities.

How do I receive returns on my investment?

You will receive periodic distributions, typically on a quarterly or annual basis, depending on the investment. At the end of the investment term, you'll receive your share of the profits upon the sale or refinancing of the property.

Are there any tax advantages to investing in real estate syndications?

Yes, real estate investments often provide significant tax advantages, such as depreciation and tax-deferred cash flow. However, we recommend consulting with a tax advisor to fully understand how these benefits apply to your individual situation.

What happens if the investment doesn’t perform as expected?

While we work hard to mitigate risks, real estate investments can be subject to market conditions that affect performance. However, our syndications are structured to prioritize investor returns, and we maintain open communication with investors to keep them informed throughout the investment lifecycle.

How often will I receive updates on my investments?

We provide regular updates on the performance of your investment, typically on a quarterly basis. This includes financial reports, distributions, and updates on the property's progress.

How can I exit my investment early?

Real estate syndications and funds typically have a set hold period. Early exit options are generally limited due to the structure of the investment, but there may be provisions for transferring your shares under specific circumstances.
