The legal aspect of real estate is often in the background, but understanding the ins and outs of a deal can be crucial to success.

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes Tilden Moschetti. Tilden is a securities attorney, syndicator, syndication coach, and author of the bestselling book, “The Commercial Real Estate Legal Survival Guide Every Owner Needs.”

As their conversation begins, Jonathan and Tilden delve into Tilden’s decision to go to law school to better understand real estate and how he left litigation to work as a real estate syndicator and syndication attorney. You’ll hear the setup of syndications, how to create a strategy, recognize a bad deal, and manage the risk of participating in syndications. Tilden shares the founder investment theory, understanding your investors, and setting LP expectations. Finally, Jonathan and Tilden cover how to start a syndication, structure and finance it, and what it means to be a “syndication lion.”

If syndications intrigue you but you aren’t sure if this asset class is for you, Tilden Moschetti breaks down what you need to know about this asset class from a legal stance.
