Real estate investing for pilots: Syndication

Real estate investing for pilots: Syndication

Cymelle Edwards

Real estate investing can be a good venture for professionals who want to make their money work for them. Recently, there has been a trend among pilots to explore real estate as a potential investment option. Pilots who decide to invest money in a real estate property can create a new revenue stream, enjoy a tax shelter, and grow their wealth.

However, the primary concern for pilots who want to try real estate investing is whether they have enough time to manage the property. When you buy a property, you typically take on the responsibilities of being a landlord. This is especially true if you purchased a multifamily property like a duplex, triplex, or condominium. However, there is a way for pilots to invest in real estate and generate passive income without having to manage the property themselves directly. Here, we will be discussing multifamily private placement (syndication).

MULTIFAMILY REAL ESTATE PRIVATE PLACEMENT (SYNDICATION) FOR PILOTS

Pilots don’t have a lot of free time on their hands. While some have more convenient schedules, most pilots do not have the time to focus on investing, particularly if it is as hands-on as real estate investing.

But if you look online, you will find quite a few success stories of pilots going into real estate and being able to make it work for them.

While traditional methods exist, such as investing in public securities, one investment strategy that could suit busy individuals like pilots is multifamily private placement (syndication).

Real estate private placement, also known as syndication, is a process where investors pool their resources to invest in a single real estate property or a portfolio of properties. Multifamily syndication involves purchasing a multifamily property, like an apartment building. [1]

Pilots are not necessarily looking for another job. Their primary goal with investing is to have their money work for them without having to exert as much effort as they already put into their day job. They also lack the time to fulfill their responsibilities as landlords. With multifamily real estate syndication, this is no longer a problem. Pilots can go on flights without worrying about the property that they bought. They can just enjoy the benefits of their passive investment.

PASSIVE REAL ESTATE INCOME FOR PILOTS​

Multifamily private placement, or syndication, is a passive real estate investment. It allows investors to purchase properties they would otherwise be unable to afford. Multifamily properties are generally more expensive than single-unit properties, which is one of many reasons why multifamily properties are ideal for syndication.

In a syndication deal, a sponsor or a syndicator locates a real estate property, structures the financing, develops the investment strategy, and works with investors interested in participating. The investors then aim to earn money from the cash flow or the equity upon resale, depending on the resale structure. [2]

Once the investment is in place, the syndicator manages the property. Pilots don’t have to worry about residents or emergencies: the syndicator controls property management. This makes it an attractive investment for pilots seeking a passive source of income.

The syndicator will sometimes hire a third party to handle property management. Property management at The BAM Companies is executed in-house thanks to its vertically integrated business model.

LESS HEADACHE FOR REAL ESTATE INVESTORS: MULTIFAMILY PRIVATE PLACEMENT (SYNDICATION)​

For pilots, multifamily syndication can take a lot of weight off their shoulders. Their job is difficult enough, but thanks to syndication, their hard-earned money could potentially work for them in the background.

Some of the wealthiest people in the world have made real estate a core part of their investment strategy. Pilots can use the same approach to build their wealth. However, taking an active part in managing the real estate property is unnecessary when someone else can do it for you.

Pilots can focus on flying the plane without worrying about building wealth: they can enjoy the financial freedom provided by investing passively through multifamily real estate syndication.
