Today Theo and Travis will be sharing their knowledge on how to vet the team before entering a real estate deal with them. They discuss this matter from a limited partner (LP) position. Since your real estate investment is illiquid, you need to consider the long-term implications of this business relationship. You’ll be communicating with your partners over the next 3-5-10 years, so you’re much better off finding out about who they are, what they do, and how they do it early on. This episode is part 1 of the series “How a Passive Investor Vets an Apartment Deal”, focusing on the most commonly asked questions about real estate deals. The other parts will focus on vetting the market and the deal itself.

In this Syndication School episode, Theo Hicks explains how to compare the different loan options and factor in different variables that are at play. Loan terms will determine what kind of ROI your multifamily unit will generate for the investors. Factors such as interest rate, debt service, loan term, and the amount of capital you put down will affect the cash flow and the future earnings. It’s also important to remember that some of these factors can benefit you short-term, and some will give you long-term advantages (i.e. having adjustable vs fixed interest rate).
