How to navigate a syndicator’s profile?

The Marketplace offers access to a network of syndicators. As an investor, you may have different criteria of who you want to invest with (e.g. most units owned or largest portfolio value), so we encourage you to connect with as many syndicators as possible.

Let’s look at an example:

Joel Fine’s scorecard:

Joel Fine is a creditable syndicator with more than 1,400 units and a portfolio valued at $134 million. His skill set includes leading syndication deals and managing assets. If his scorecard caught your attention, click on ‘View profile’ for more information.

Basic terminology:

The ‘About’ section provides a high-level overview of the syndicator’s credentials and deal experience.

The ‘Sponsored deals’ section includes all of the deals the syndicator participated in. Consequently, you will see basic information such as property name, location, number of units, class type, and purchase date.

Syndicators can invest passively in deals that will be included in the ‘Passive deals’ portion. It will include the same type of information as ‘Sponsored deals.’

If you are impressed with their profile after viewing all of their deals, simply click on ‘Establish a relationship.’ A popup window will appear where you can choose the connection level and send them a personalized note.  

Once you click on ‘Establish a relationship,’ it triggers an automatic email. Next, the syndicator will follow up and schedule a discovery call. During this time, you can inquire about their portfolio and learn more about their syndication experience.

Once you’ve formed a ‘substantive relationship’, syndicators will add you to their emailing list/investor database to access future 506(b) and 506(c) deals.
