16 Questions to Ask Yourself BEFORE You Invest
So, you're interested in passive investing, and you think it might be something you want to participate in.
But, before you start subscribing to every real estate investor website you can find, hoping to get into deals, let's go over 16 questions that will help you:

-
How much money do I need to invest?Most opportunities require a $25,000 minimum investment. Some opportunities may have a minimum investment as low as $10,000. The minimum investment amount will be listed in the information about each opportunity.
-
Are these investments safe?All investment vehicles, stock, mutual funds, and real estate, have some degree of risk that you should consider before investing.
-
What kind of returns can I expect?Although there are no hard and fast “standard” in the industry, typical investments target an average annual return between 10-20%. This includes the quarterly profit distributions and the profit forecast from the sale at the end of the investment holding period. This is often expressed as a multiple of your original equity investment. For instance, an investment may forecast an equity multiple of 2.0. This means, if you invested $20,000 in this opportunity, and the opportunity performs as planned, you will double your original investment (2.0 X $20,000, or $40,000) over the planned investment holding period.
-
How often will I receive profit distributions?Profit distributions are typically paid quarterly, starting a few months after the property is acquired and major capital improvements have been completed. Distributions will usually continue for the duration of the investment period, until the property is sold. The investment documentation that you will receive prior to investing will explain the distribution plan for the specific deal.
-
Are there any tax benefits to this type of investing?In some cases, limited partners can receive tax benefits from investing in multifamily real estate. Please speak to your CPA or tax preparer to find out how this investment type works with your specific tax situation.
-
How long is my money locked in an investment?Most investments will run for 3-5 years before the property is sold. In some cases, your investment may be returned to you early if the property is refinanced.
-
Can I sell my share of the investment?In most cases, you are promising your investment to the partnership for the full investment term, which is why we recommend only investment money that can be tied up in the investment for up to 5 years. However, we understand that unexpected financial situations can arise. The partnership agreement created for specific investment opportunity will provide instructions and options for these situations. We recommend that you read and understand the agreement before investing.
