Syndication Defined As Passive Scale
- A syndication is simply a group pooling money to buy an asset together for scale and diversification.
- Tony J. Robinson and Ashley Kehr explain GPs run the deal and LPs provide capital, creating passive vs active roles.
Pick 506B If You Rely On Warm Contacts
- Choose between 506B and 506C based on your marketing needs and investor pool before fundraising.
- 506B prohibits general solicitation but accepts preexisting relationships; 506C allows advertising but requires accredited investor verification.
Calculate Your Real Ownership Percentage
- Understand your actual ownership slice: LP percentage is of the LP pool, not the full property.
- Tony J. Robinson illustrates math: investing $2 of $10 raise with GP owning 30% yields 14% ownership of the whole property.
