We are here to guide you through the following areas:
Financial Analysis & Fund Modeling

Structuring the Correct Legal Entity
Navigating Legal Entity Selection: Selecting the appropriate legal entity is a critical decision that can significantly impact both tax implications and investment flexibility. While the limited liability company (LLC) is a prevalent choice due to its versatility and protection benefits, the optimal structure may vary based on the specific project and investor needs. We work with a network of attorneys to provide guidance through this process, while leveraging our extensive experience in real estate transactions to provide informed insights.
Tailored Solutions for Unique Syndication Needs: We understand that each real estate syndication has its unique characteristics and investor profiles. Our goal is to have a legal structure that aligns with these unique aspects, ensuring that it not only offers protection but also coincides with the strategic goals of the syndicate. Whether it's a straightforward single-entity setup or a more complex multi-entity arrangement, we always want the most effective solution.
Capital Stack and Distribution Strategy
Tailored Split, Promote and Fee Structure Development: In the realm of real estate syndication, the intricacies of equity splits and fee structures are pivotal. We delve into crafting these elements uniquely for each deal, ensuring they align with both the project's financial objectives and investor interests. Our approach is grounded in a thorough understanding of your syndicate's specific needs, resulting in structures that are both fair and strategically sound for all parties involved.
Utilization of Comprehensive Capital Market Insights: Our strategies are informed by extensive capital markets data, encompassing a broad spectrum of economic indicators and investment trends. This expansive view allows us to provide advice that is both relevant and forward-thinking, positioning your syndicate effectively in a dynamic market landscape.
