Commercial Real Estate Investment Syndicates - Continued...

A commercial real estate investment syndicate is a group of investors - both personal and professional - formed together to own a given commercial income-producing real estate property.  This means there is real property (the land - "dirt") that is about to be improved or has already been improved with all of the buildings, structures, equipment, fixtures, furnishings and other capital assets that can be used for a business purpose.

The business purpose is the support of a defined operations program.  Examples of operations programs include:

a manufacturing facility (a factory).

a hotel or motel.

a multifamily rental housing property.

a senior housing property (including entry-fee properties).

a logistics terminal.

a retail shopping center or single-tenant retail center ("big box retail").

a hospital or medical office building.

a nursing home.

a warehouse.

a self-storage center.

The operations programs are businesses.  These businesses are owned by the sponsor of the syndicate; quite often the project developer is the same as the project sponsor.  The sponsor is seeking to promote his/her project to the investing public via our syndication platform.  The sponsor is seeking to team up with investors who advance a portion of the capital cost of developing the business in return for a share of the resulting cash flows the business throws off - these cash flows are the basis for funds that are distributable income.  

Distributable income is the income generated by the results of operations and the results of refinancing or selling off the assets that are owned by the syndicate investors.

The syndicate investors access the opportunity through the syndication platform.  The syndication platform entity enters into a purchase and sale agreement with the sponsor.  This allows the transaction to move forward as a resale "flip" between the sponsor and the syndicate platform on one side and the syndicate investors on the other.  When the transaction closes escrow, it is Real Estate Plays Dot Com, LLC that actually sells the fractionalized tenants-in-common real estate ownership units to the syndicate investors.  The syndicate investors (in the aggregate) also enter into a series of ongoing rental agreements with the sponsor and Real Estate Plays Dot Com, LLC (the syndication platform) to have the syndication platform administer the lockbox accounts and cut distributions checks each month, to each syndicate participant of record.

Today, Rainmaker has completed literally hundreds upon hundreds of consulting assignments on projects in the housing, health care, retail, commercial office and hospitality industries throughout North America - including projects in 45 of the 50 states, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean Basin.  The resulting reports and consulting services provided by Rainmaker have resulted in billions of dollars in new development.  Our clients have included publicly-traded companies, privately-held companies, government bodies and not-for-profit organizations.  

When Should You Be Talking To Rainmaker?

If you will be seeking construction financing from a third-party lender (or investor) with whom you do not already enjoy a previous underwriting relationship, then you need to be talking to Rainmaker.  If you have insufficient equity or assets necessary to sustain a construction mortgage financing for a new construction project, then you need to be talking to Rainmaker about the alternatives.  If you have doubts, Rainmaker is the firm to turn to when it's time to deal with them.
