This is a super helpful video! Everything was explained clearly.

Simple and easy to understand. Well done.

I think you should start syndications once you have a couple deals under your belt. Bigger investors might look down upon you if you try to syndicate without knowing too much about the business

multy? preferred term? Overall helpful, but I'm here doing research for resources to help train new hires and there are some big errors in this.

Good video. The decision to invest in one or the other is not like flipping a coin.

Any book recommendations to learn more on this?

If an investor puts money into one of these funds, what are the limitations (typically) on their ability to take the money back out? I'm considering working with some people to establish a PE fund, but don't want to have the thing explode because one of the investors suddenly decides that they want to back out. Also, concerned that if we put our money in, and the fund isn't performing as well as we'd like, that we're trapped if the fund doesn't have an individual investor exit clause.

I'm still getting my head around all the terms and models for this sort of thing, so apologies if I'm asking questions with obvious answers.

Great video, however the background music makes it distracting.

This doesn’t sound like a way to go for a newer investor that doesn’t have a lot of funds up front, would you agree?

Do private equity firms do ground up developments?

[sachinmaskey]

How do I start the process and exact steps to do private equity or syndication ?? I have found lot of good deals and looking for some investors to partner with get the deals

Working selling software to streamline these processes !

How is profit divided up upon the sale of the property? Also, how is ownership divided up between the managing partner and the limited partners?

[redchevy]

Is either one better than the other or does each have its own pros and cons?

[CRESPOTLIGHT]

There's a lot of myth and misconceptions perpetuated about Syndications. The best thing to do is meet with several Syndicators and you'll figure out who you want to learn from and later invest with

I'm looking to get into loan syndication for flippers acquisition/rehab/cash-out, but can't find anything on the internet that allows me to research what kind of vehicle I need to use. I don't want to have to register with the SEC and syndicate would be deal-specific. I'm looking at deals in the $150k-$300k range each time. Can anyone point me in the right direction. I have more deals to look at than I have funds to loan on them.
