Growth Timeline of a Typical Real Estate Syndication Deal
Growth Timeline of a Typical Real Estate Syndication Deal
Pre-Investment Phase (1–2 Months Before Closing)
Deal Sourcing: We identify and underwrite a strong opportunity in a high-potential market.
Due Diligence: We evaluate property condition, financials, rent comps, and operator history.
Offering Package Released: You receive a full investor deck with projected returns, business plan, and risk disclosures.
Investor Commitments: You reserve your spot and sign the subscription documents (PPM, operating agreement).
Capital Raise: Once soft commitments are confirmed, you wire funds to a secure account.
You are now a limited partner (LP) in the deal.
Acquisition & Closing (Month 0)
The property closes. Legal entity ownership transfers.
Investor funds are deployed. Loan is secured and initial capital improvements begin.
You receive a Welcome Letter confirming your share in the deal and projected first distribution timeline.
Stabilization Phase (Months 1–12)
CapEx Plan Execution Begins:
Renovations, rebranding, unit upgrades, or operational fixes.
Value-add improvements (e.g., updated kitchens, washer/dryers, parking upgrades).
Lease-ups & Rent Increases:
Older leases expire and are renewed at higher rents.
Marketing and tenant quality improve.
Distributions Start:
Investors begin receiving monthly or quarterly cash flow (typically after 1–3 months).
Regular email updates include occupancy rates, rent growth, and CapEx progress.
Stabilized Operations Phase (Years 1–3)
Cash Flow Normalizes:
The asset is now stabilized, with strong rent collections and steady income.
Increased NOI (Net Operating Income):
This increases the property’s overall valuation.
Optional Refinance:
If value has increased significantly, we may do a cash-out refinance, returning some capital to investors while continuing to hold the asset.
You keep earning cash flow and now possibly receive a lump-sum partial return of capital while still staying invested.
Exit Phase (Years 3–7)
Disposition Planning:
We watch market timing, buyer demand, and interest rates. Once the property reaches target valuation, we plan a sale.
Property Sold:
The asset is sold to another operator or institutional buyer.
Investor Returns:
You receive your original investment back
Plus your share of the profits from the sale
IRR Target Achieved:
Typical total returns range between 13–18% IRR, depending on market, timing, and execution.
Your money has worked for you generating income, appreciation, and tax benefits without you lifting a finger.
