In this comprehensive episode of The Wealth in Yourself podcast, host Josh St. Laurent sits down with Tilden Moschetti, CCIM, Esq., a syndication attorney who focuses exclusively on Regulation D offerings for real estate syndicators, business owners, entrepreneurs, and private equity funds.Tilden brings a unique perspective as both a practicing syndication attorney and an active syndicator himself. His journey began when a partner showed him a deal and asked if they could syndicate it together - despite Tilden having no idea what syndication meant at the time. That first successful deal changed everything, leading him to transition his entire practice from real estate litigation to syndication law nine years ago."Any time there is an offering where somebody is going to invest money and they're going to be passive, that's a security," Tilden explains, breaking down the regulatory framework that governs these powerful investment vehicles.This episode demystifies the world of real estate syndications, covering everything from the investor perspective to the sponsor side. Tilden reveals why syndications typically make sense once you're raising over $1 million and shares the startup costs involved (typically $30-50K including legal fees).The conversation explores the critical differences between Rule 506(b) and Rule 506(c) offerings, helping listeners understand when each structure makes sense based on their investor relationships and capital-raising strategy.💰 What you'll discover:Why syndications are securities and how Regulation D exemptions workThe difference between accredited and non-accredited investor requirementsHow to evaluate syndication deals as an investor - red flags and green flagsThe reality of liquidity constraints and loss of control as a passive investorMinimum deal sizes that make syndications financially viable ($1M+)Startup costs and legal requirements for sponsorsHow profit distributions work between sponsors and investorsThe truth about preferred returns and profit splits (typically 7% preferred, then 70/30 split)Tax implications and K-1 distributions for all participantsWhen to use Rule 506(b) vs 506(c) based on your investor networkWhy Tilden's worst investor put in $5,000 and his best gave him $1MTilden shares candid insights about investor behavior, revealing why setting minimum investment thresholds isn't about exclusion but about managing investor relations effectively.
