C CONVICTION

For real estate syndication investors

Read the PPM, the pro forma, and the loan terms before you send the wire.

Upload the offering memorandum, PPM, operating agreement, rent roll, and T-12. Seven independent reviewers cover the sponsor, the submarket, the building, the business plan, the debt, and your terms as an LP. A Chair turns what they find into one cited recommendation.

The problem

Where diligence usually breaks down.

01

Pro forma NOI vs. the T-12

Offering decks lead with post-renovation rents and stabilized NOI. The Business Plan reviewer checks those numbers against the trailing-twelve-month statement and the rent roll, including property tax reassessment and insurance after the sale.

02

The debt sets the downside

Many 2021–22 multifamily syndications bought with floating-rate bridge loans and two-year rate caps. When rates rose and the caps expired before the renovations were done, LPs faced capital calls or lost their equity even where the buildings were fine. The Capital Stack reviewer stress-tests DSCR, the cap, and the refinance the return depends on.

03

Fees can pay the sponsor while LPs lose

Acquisition, asset management, refinance, and disposition fees add up. The LP Terms reviewer totals them against the equity raised and reads the waterfall, capital-call, and GP-removal provisions in the operating agreement.

04

Track records are self-reported

A deck lists the wins. Ask for deal-level results on everything they've sold, next to what each projected at purchase. Without that, a claimed return is an assumption, and the report labels it as one.

Your committee

The Real Estate / Syndication committee.

Sponsor / GP Reviewer
The sponsor's track record, full-cycle results against projections, co-investment, key-person risk, and conflicts of interest.
Market & Submarket Reviewer
Rent and sale comps, new supply, demand drivers, occupancy trends, and whether the exit cap rate is supported.
Property & Physical Reviewer
Physical condition, deferred maintenance, capex budget, environmental, zoning, title, and insurability.
Business Plan & Operations Reviewer
The pro forma against the T-12 and rent roll: rent growth, renovation premiums, operating expenses, taxes, insurance, and lease-up.
Capital Stack & Debt Reviewer
Leverage, DSCR and debt yield, floating-rate and rate-cap exposure, maturity and refinance risk, and recourse.
LP Terms & Returns Reviewer
The waterfall, preferred return, promote, fee load, capital-call and removal rights, and how sensitive LP returns are to the plan.
Devil’s Advocate
The strongest evidence-based case not to invest, focused on risks the other reviewers are likely to miss.

Built for confidential materials

Private by default. Disciplined by design.

Your workspace is isolated from every other organization. Factual claims must cite the source material, and assumptions and judgments are labeled as such, so evidence and opinion stay separate.
