Active real estate investing requires direct involvement in the management and operation of properties, including finding deals, financing, maintenance, and tenant management. Passive investing allows investors to benefit from real estate returns without the hands-on management responsibilities.

Benefits include potential for consistent cash flow, portfolio diversification, tax advantages, access to larger investment opportunities, and leveraging the expertise of professional real estate managers.

Typically, accredited investors (individuals meeting certain income or net worth criteria) can invest in multifamily syndications. Some opportunities may be available to sophisticated investors who have sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters.

Minimum investments vary by syndication but often range from $25,000 to $50,000. It's important to review the terms of each specific investment opportunity.

The investment period can vary but typically ranges from 5 to 7 years, depending on the business plan and market conditions. It's crucial for investors to have a long-term perspective.

Returns are typically distributed on a quarterly basis, but the frequency can vary based on the syndication's operating agreement. Distributions may include rental income and proceeds from the property's eventual sale.

Like all investments, multifamily syndications come with risks, including market risk, liquidity risk, and management risk. It's important to conduct thorough due diligence and consult with financial advisors.

Yes, you can invest in a multifamily syndication through your IRA or 401(k). It requires setting up a self-directed IRA (SDIRA) or a solo 401(k) for individuals with self-employment income. These accounts allow for investment in a broader range of assets, including real estate syndications. It's important to consult with a financial advisor or tax professional to understand the rules, potential tax benefits, and implications for your specific situation.

Begin by educating yourself on real estate investing, understanding your investment goals, and assessing your risk tolerance. Then, research and connect with experienced syndication teams with a track record of successful investments.
