Cash-on-cash return (CoC) measures the annual pre-tax cash flow received from an investment compared to the initial cash investment. It’s calculated by dividing annual cash flow by the total cash invested.

IRR is a metric used to evaluate the profitability of an investment over time. It represents the annualized rate of return at which the net present value (NPV) of all cash flows (both incoming and outgoing) equals zero.

IRR is determined by factoring in all cash inflows (such as rental income and property sales) and outflows (such as acquisition and operational costs) over the investment period. A higher IRR indicates a more profitable investment.

Real estate syndication is a partnership where multiple investors pool their capital to acquire and manage large-scale properties. This allows investors to participate in high-value real estate opportunities without managing the assets themselves.

An accredited investor is an individual or entity that meets specific financial criteria set by the SEC, such as having a net worth of over $1 million (excluding primary residence) or an annual income exceeding $200,000 ($300,000 for joint income).

Investors typically start by reviewing available opportunities and completing an accreditation verification process. Once approved, they can participate in real estate projects by contributing capital through structured investment agreements.

Holding periods vary by project but typically range from 3 to 7 years. The timeframe depends on market conditions, asset performance, and the overall investment strategy.

Investors receive regular updates, including financial reports, market insights, and project progress. Communication frequency varies by project but is typically provided on a quarterly basis.
