Passive Investing

Experienced LPs shared their most valuable lessons, drawn from years of investing across various asset classes and sponsor relationships.

Every real estate deal needs funding, which is why real estate syndication and private equity investments have become so widespread. However, where that money comes from and in what order it gets repaid isn't random. It's structured carefully, layer by layer, in what's known as the capital stack.

A real estate syndication is a common investment structure that pools capital from multiple investors to acquire and manage larger commercial real estate assets.
