A well-liked strategy for combining money from various investors to invest in real estate projects is real estate syndication. Syndication can be a very efficient way for sponsors to raise money for their projects and for investors to participate in real estate investments that might otherwise be out of reach. However, it’s crucial to comprehend the legal framework that oversees these investments before thinking about making a real estate syndications investment.

At F2H Capital Group, we focus on real estate syndications that generate returns of at least 21% on average (IRR). We encourage you to get in touch with us if you’re interested in investing in these opportunities.

The Legal Structure of Real Estate Syndications

Generally speaking, real estate syndications are organized as general partnerships, limited partnerships, or limited liability companies (LLCs) (GPs). It’s critical to comprehend the advantages and risks associated with each structure because each one has distinctive features of its own.

Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)

One of the most popular structures for real estate syndications is an LLC. A limited liability company (LLC) is a type of business entity that protects its owners’ (also referred to as “members”) personal assets from the liabilities of the company. Due to the fact that LLCs are frequently taxed as partnerships, profits and losses are transferred to the members’ individual tax returns.

The flexibility an LLC provides for real estate syndication is one of its main advantages. LLCs may be managed by the members themselves or by a designated manager, and they may have an unlimited number of members. Additionally, LLCs can be designed to permit various membership classes with various degrees of participation and voting rights.

Limited Partnerships (LPs)

Another typical structure for real estate syndications is limited partnerships. One or more general partners and one or more limited partners make up an LP. While the limited partner(s) contribute capital but have no management responsibilities, the general partner(s) is/are responsible for managing the partnership.

The limited liability protection provided to the limited partners by an LP structure is one of its main benefits. The limited partners’ private assets are protected from the partnership’s obligations, just like in an LLC. The general partner(s), who are in charge of running the partnership and are subject to personal liability for any losses, are not given the same level of protection, though.

General Partnerships (GPs)

The simplest type of real estate syndication structure is a general partnership. In a general partnership, two or more people or organizations decide to invest money and split the partnership’s gains and losses. In contrast to an LLC or LP, a general partnership does not provide limited liability protection for its partners. Each partner is responsible for the debts and obligations of the partnership on a joint and several basis.

Although general partnerships don’t offer limited liability protection, some investors may find them appealing. For a group of close friends or family members who want to invest in a real estate project jointly, a general partnership might be the best option.

The Best Legal Structure to Use

Various elements, such as the size of the investment, the number and nature of investors, the level of risk involved, and the objectives and preferences of the sponsor, must be taken into consideration when deciding on the best legal structure for a real estate syndication.

For our real estate syndications at F2H Capital Group, we typically use an LLC structure. The adaptability and limited liability protection that we and our investors need are provided by this structure. But we carefully assess every project on a case-by-case basis to decide on the best structure.
