An excellent guidebook for venturing into Real Estate Syndication
I have been working in commercial real estate for my entire career (over 15 years) for private companies with portfolios ranging from 50-1500 apartment units. When I ventured out on my own into the world of real estate syndication, Sam Freshman's book provided me with a roadmap to follow. I am currently in the process of raising capital for my first syndicated deal and I find myself constantly referring back to the pages of his book as I go through the process. It is quite a learning curve but has been a much smoother ride having this resource by my side. I have been able to ask more educated questions of my attorneys and advisors and have been able to provide better answers to potential investors with greater confidence. This is a great reference for seasoned real estate professionals as well as undergrad or post graduates going into the real estate field.
