When I first got started in commercial real estate, I thought there was only one way to go: You save money for years and years until you finally have enough to do a deal on your own. And for some people, that’s certainly a good way to go. I thought the same way until I learned about syndicating real estate at a mastermind in Austin, TX. It completely opened my eyes to how I could grow my investment portfolio bigger and faster while having less of my own cash, which we all know is a finite resource, in each deal. So, here’s my guide to commercial real estate syndication for beginners.

I recently finalized a $4.8 million cash raise with my partners on a commercial development in Nashville. At 10x my largest capital raise to-date, this raise gave me some valuable insight to the entire process. So, here are my biggest takeaways.

I’ve been in commercial real estate since 2013 but only really started investing in 2019, after founding my own commercial brokerage. Since then, I’ve developed a 42-unit townhome community, acquired over 50,000 square feet of office and retail space, and am in the middle of a $19.2 million mixed-use development in East Nashville. And I get asked all the time: “How can I get into commercial real estate investing?” So, knowing what I know now, here’s what I would do if I had to start it all over.

Finding commercial real estate investments can be one of the most frustrating parts of becoming an investor. Projects are often hidden by LLCs or other entities that are either shells or forward directly to an attorney, so finding the true owner can be a bit tricky. However, I've found direct mailers to be one of the most effective methods for sourcing potential investment opportunities.
