Exploring Projected Returns In A Real Estate Syndication

10/29/2019

 
Picture
One of the most common questions that we get asked is, “If I were to invest $50,000 with you
today, what kinds of returns should I expect?”

We get it. You want to know how hard real estate syndications can make your money work for
you, and how passive real estate investing stacks up to the returns you’re getting through other
types of investment vehicles.

In order to help answer that question, you should first know that we will be talking about
projected returns. That is, these returns are projections, based on our analyses and best
guesses, but they aren’t guaranteed, and there’s always risk associated with any investment.
The examples herein are only meant to provide some ballpark ideas to get you started.
​
In this article, we’ll explore the 3 main criteria you should look into when evaluating projected
returns on a potential real estate syndication deal.

Three Main Criteria

Each real estate syndication investment summary contains a barrage of useful data. Focus on
these core concepts:
  1. Projected hold time
  2. Projected cash-on-cash returns
  3. Projected profits at the sale

Active Versus Passive Real Estate Investing – Which One Is Right For You?

10/15/2019

 
Picture
Did you know that you could invest in real estate without the headaches of tenants, toilets, and termites? It’s true – you can get all the benefits of investing in real estate, without any of the hassles of being a landlord.

In this article, you’ll see what passive real estate investing means and find out if you should be an active or passive investor.

​What It Means To Be An Active Investor

When most people think of real estate investing, they think of rental property investing – buy a single family home, find a renter, and collect monthly rent income. Sounds easy enough, but the reality can be quite different.

Even with a professional property management team on board, you as the landlord still have an active role in the investment.

The property managers may take care of the day-to-day issues, but you will still need to be involved in strategic decisions, including whether to evict tenants who aren’t paying, filing insurance claims when unexpected surprises happen, and sometimes having to put in additional funds to cover maintenance and repair costs.

​What It Means To Be A Passive Investor

On the flip side, you have passive investing, which are the “set it and forget it” type of real estate investments. You invest your money, and someone else does all the heavy lifting.

The great part about passive investing is that it’s totally passive – you don’t get any calls from the property manager, you don’t have to screen any tenants, and you don’t have to file any insurance paperwork.

However, being a passive investor also means that you relinquish some of your control in the investment and trust someone else (i.e., the sponsor team) to manage the property and execute on the business plan on your behalf.

What Does It Mean to be an Accredited Investor?

10/8/2019

​Once you decide to dive into the real estate investing world, it won’t be long before you hear the term “Accredited Investor.” Once you notice how many passive commercial real estate or crowdfunded investment opportunities are publicly advertised and therefore limited to accredited investors only, you may get curious.

Even if you’re a total newbie, it’s important to know the difference between a sophisticated investor and an accredited investor and if you’re one of them.
 
Neither of these titles requires an application or an approval process. You can find out whether you’re an accredited investor based on a few simple criteria.

What to Look For

To be an accredited investor, you must:
1. Have had an annual income of $200,000 (or $300,000 for joint income) for the past two years, and expect to earn the same or higher income this year.
OR
​2. Have a net worth of over $1 million, not counting your primary home.

How To Stop Trading Your Time For Money And Start Creating Passive Income

10/1/2019

 
Picture
Imagine with me, that your workday began with the usual routine, but halfway through your morning, you received the news you’d been laid off.

For most Americans, that means zero income starting tomorrow morning.

Now, let’s pretend that during your employment, you leveraged your money. 
​The rich don’t work for money. They make their money work for them. – Robert Kiyosaki

​Three Types of Income

Most people’s income is active, which means it’s from a consistent paycheck. But wealthy people  typically earn Residual or Passive income (or both!).
​1. Active income is from your employer and requires activity in exchange for money. When you stop, the income stops.
2. Residual income means you receive money after the work is done. For example, every book an author sells provides residual income.
3. ​Passive income is earned with very little effort and continues flowing even when you aren’t working. Real estate investments are one of the most stable sources of passive income.
Remember the job loss scenario? Let’s pretend you’d built passive income, on the side, during employment. Since being laid off, your earnings decreased by your monthly salary amount, but you still have income. Financial freedom is achieved when your earned passive income supersedes your active income.

So What's Best?

In my opinion, all three blended together is the perfect mix.  For others, they only want one or two of these.  Your goals for your legacy and family should help shape the right one (or mix) of these income types.
