What are the 4 big mistakes syndicators make?

Mistake #1: Buy a Mediocre Deal

• BUY A GREAT DEAL!
• Get investors excited, if you aren’t excited by the deal

they won’t be! YOU MAKE WHEN YOU BUY, NOT WHEN YOU SELL! Mistake #2: Buying a deal that’s too big!

• The bigger the deal the more money you need to raise
• Nothing happens until you get your first deal done!

What are the 4 big mistakes syndicators make?

Mistake #3: Lack of time to raise money

• Develop an investor pool before you go under contract

with a property!

• Create a list of investors you can go to once you find a

deal.

• Develop a pitch book!
• Negotiate enough time on your contract to close and

raise capital Mistake #4: Lack of Investment Strategy

• No plan!
• Be specific with your strategy!

What are the legal requirements of a Syndication?

• Raising Capital from public – Government views it as a “public
• ffering”
• Registration with the Securities & Exchanges Commission (SEC) is

required, unless you satisfy exemptions covered in Regulation D

• Reg D contains such exemptions from registration requirements.

What are the requirements I must meet?

• Must file From D with the state that the investment is in.
• Meet exemptions stated in Rule 504, Rule 505, Rule 506.
• Common Exemption Rule is 505:
• Securities may be sold to an unlimited number of “accredited”

investors and up to 35 non accredited investors.

• No solicitation; ie, TV, Raido, Newspaper.
• Establish a “common” knowledge of real estate investing with

investors wanting to get involved.

• Complete a Private Placement Memorandum (PPM).

*This is not legal advice and is intended for information purposes only.

What is a Private Placement Memorandum?

• To meet the requirements of Reg. D - full disclosure must be given to all

potential investors related to the offering.

• The document that contains these disclosures is called a Private

Placement Memorandum

• Reg D PPM: outlines everything about a company for the prospective

investors; from how the offering will be set up and taxed, to outlining all associated risks involved with the offering.

At the end of the day consult your real estate attorney regarding your individual deal!

*This is not legal advice and is intended for information purposes only

How do I raise money from investors?

What you can’t do:

• Advertising/Solicit to the public via TV, Radio, Newspapers.
• Cold Calling strangers you have never met before.
• No seminars or meetings can be held regarding the offering unless each

invitee is known and qualified in advanced. What you can do:

• Network, Network, Network!!!!
• Finding investors from building relationships and credibility with a wide

range group of people.

• They may not all be RE investors.
• Look for sophisticated investors, High Net Worth individuals!
• Go to investing clubs, attend as many networking invents as possible!
• Meeting a lot of people before you find a “Angel Investor”.
• The bigger your network is, the bigger your reach, the more money you

can raise, the more deals you can get done!
