frequently asked questionS

General Real Estate Syndication

  • A group investment where multiple investors pool funds to buy commercial real estate. A sponsor (like Grocapitus) manages the project, while investors earn passive income.

  • Projected returns are estimates of how much investors might earn from an investment over a specific period. These include cash flow distributions and profits from the property sale at exit. While based on market research and past performance, projected returns are not guaranteed.

  • Investors earn returns via two ways:

    • Distributions from cash flow during ownership (typically paid quarterly).
    • Profits from sale or refinance when the property is sold, and investors benefit from price appreciation.

  • Most syndication investments have a 3-5 year hold period depending on the type of investment. During this time, investors’ funds are illiquid, meaning investors cannot access their initial investment capital unless there is an early sale or refinance.

  • As with any investment, there are risks:

    • Market downturns
    • Vacancy issues
    • Poor property management
    • Interest rate increases

    Grocapitus attempts to offset these risks via data-driven acquisition strategies and conservative underwriting.

  • No. Real estate syndications are not guaranteed and are subject to market risk. However, Grocapitus employs risk mitigation strategies and prioritizes transparency and investor communication so investors are informed during the investment period.

Investor Eligibility

  • An accredited investor is someone who meets specific income or net worth requirements set by the SEC:

    • Annual income of $200K+ ($300K with a spouse) for the past 2 years, or
      Net worth of $1M+, excluding primary residence
    • An entity is considered an accredited investor if it is a private business development company or an organization with assets exceeding $5 million. Also, if an entity consists of equity owners who are accredited investors, the entity itself is an accredited investor.

    This status allows access to certain private investments not available to the general public.

  • An unaccredited investor doesn’t currently meet the SEC’s financial criteria for accreditation but may still be eligible to invest in some types of offerings (like Regulation A or 506(b) offerings), depending on deal structure and relationship with the sponsor.

Retirement Funds & 1031 Exchanges

  • Yes, it is possible, but complex. Investors can invest 1031 exchange proceeds into a syndication using a Tenant-In-Common (TIC) structure or a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST). The syndication must be structured properly to comply with IRS rules. It is recommended that investors consult a CPA or 1031 intermediary for guidance.

  • Yes, through a self-directed IRA (SDIRA) or solo 401(k), investors can invest retirement funds in real estate syndications. This allows for tax-deferred or tax-free growth depending on the type of account utilized.
