    Lorain is a Dentist with $900K in cash to invest in commercial real estate. She has been looking for a commercial property in the Bay Area for the last 2 years. There are few commercial properties in the $1M - $3M range for sale in the Bay Area. And if there are, they tend to be very old and in an undesirable part of town with a lot of deferred maintenance and financially-weak tenan

However, she noticed many good and affordable shopping centers outside of California with brand name tenants and high income.

This property is often more expensive, e.g. $7M-$15M; thus, most investors cannot purchase individually. Lorain and Sunny are happy to invest in a good property with strong income. The syndicator earns a commission from t
    easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi
    e sale and a contingent fee in the form of a 10% ownership of the property. So it’s a win-win situation for both syndicator and investors. The syndicator manages the property, provides a quarterly operating income and expense report, and distribute income to investors.

    Benefits to investors: The concept behind syndication/TIC is “it’s better to own a part of a more valuable,

    1. Lorain is pleased because she can invest in a good property with strong income and strong potential for appreciation. The property is in good hands with the syndicator; so, she can focus on her dental business and family.

    2. Sunny is very happy because he owns less than 30% of the property, and thus, he does not

    3. Since the loan amount to finance the property is substantially larger, e.g. $6-10M, and the property has superior characteristics, the interest rate will be lower, e.g. 6% instead of 7%

    As a result, the investors will receive a better return from their investment.

    Title under Syndication/TIC: the syndicator may form a Limited Liability Company (LLC) to take title to the property or vest title to the owners as tenants in common. An LLC will shield the property from potential liabilities exposure. For example, if one of the investors is sued, the creditors c

    Following aspects would a

The syndicator is the manager of the LLC so he can make certain decisions, e.g. sign the new lease on behalf of all investors.

    1. No single investor can own more than 50% of the club.

    The operating agreement also specifies the percentage of interest in the property each investor owns as tenants in common with others.

    Income Tax: All the income may be reported by individual investors on the Schedule E. For example if Lorain owns 30% of the property, she will receive an Operating Statement wi

    As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

The property currently has a $6M non-recourse loan at below market rate of 5.6% interest through 2016.
