For many investors, multifamily syndication is an intriguing and attractive way to scale investment goals. And with good reason. Syndicated funds can be used to leverage greater returns than you’d normally see investing on your own.

Syndication can be a great mutual benefit for both the syndicator and investor – if you understand what it takes for a good syndication deal.

Due diligence is important for any investment, but it’s especially true with syndications. In many ways the stakes are much higher. Whether your contributing capital for a syndication deal or you are the syndicator using using the capital of others, you need to understand the structure of a good deal.

That’s where analytics come in.

Understanding the Analytics of Multifamily Syndication

When you place your funds into a syndication pool, your putting a considerable amount of trust in the person actually making the investment. That’s why you should be aligning your investment goals with data-driven syndication deals.

If somebody is going to tell you your funds are in good hands, they better have the data and metrics to back that up. While no investment is zero-risk, a syndication deal backed by a comprehensive market and asset data analysis has much stronger prospects than one without.

Let’s face it, every real estate investor just starting out dreams of landing the huge deals. The question remains though: how to make it to the institutional level?

The answer comes with syndication. Syndication expands the opportunity to make larger deals by leveraging capital from a group of investors.

For singlefamily and small, residential multifamily, the first syndication deal can seem like a large step. There are a lot of moving pieces to keep track of in a syndicated deal that may seem complex to investors used to self-financing.

Reed Goossens knows the power in syndication.

A native Australian, Reed moved to the U.S. after educating himself in real estate investing. As a foreign investor, Reed saw the potential for earning cash-flow in U.S. real estate markets and set about acquiring properties.

Initially investing in small duplexes in tertiary markets outside of New York City, Reed had been using his own capital to finance deals.

He realized the need to scale his real estate investment goals and set about transitioning from residential multifamily to commercial multifamily through syndication.

Reed founded RSN Property Group and has been investing in commercial multifamily properties through syndication since 2011.

In addition to expanding his asset portfolio and investor base, Reed also hosts a podcast to educate foreign investors in the U.S. real estate market
