Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is real estate syndication, and how does it work?

Real estate syndication is a partnership between investors who pool their resources to purchase and manage large real estate assets. As an investor, you’ll own a share of the property without taking on day-to-day management. Watchtower Holdings handles all operational tasks, from acquisition to ongoing management, while you enjoy passive income.

What are the tax benefits of investing in real estate syndications?

Investing in real estate can offer several tax advantages, including depreciation, which may reduce your taxable income. Additionally, holding properties for longer periods could allow you to defer taxes on profits. Other potential tax benefits include deductions for mortgage interest and operational expenses.

Each person's tax situation is unique. Watchtower Holdings is not a financial or tax advisor. We strongly recommend consulting with a certified tax professional or financial advisor to understand how real estate syndications may impact your specific tax situation.

What is an accredited investor, and do I need to be one to invest?

An accredited investor is a person or entity that meets specific financial criteria set by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), allowing them to invest in certain private securities offerings, such as real estate syndications. To qualify, an individual must meet at least one of the following:

Income: Have an annual income of $200,000 (or $300,000 combined with a spouse) for the last two years, with the expectation of earning the same or more in the current year.

Net Worth: Have a net worth exceeding $1 million, either individually or with a spouse, excluding the value of your primary residence.

Accredited investor status is required for many of Watchtower Holdings’ offerings to comply with SEC regulations. However, occasionally, we may have opportunities for non-accredited investors depending on the specific deal structure.

What are the risks involved in real estate syndication?

All investments involve risk, and real estate syndications are no exception.

At Watchtower Holdings, we do not guarantee that you will achieve our targeted returns. There are several factors that can impact the performance of your investment, many of which are outside of our control, such as market conditions, property vacancies, economic downturns, or unforeseen property expenses. It’s important to understand that investing in real estate syndications may result in partial or total loss of your investment.

Watchtower Holdings is not a financial advisor. We encourage prospective investors to carefully consider their investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. It’s also recommended to consult with a tax or legal advisor before making any investment decision.

Can I sell my investment before the property is sold?

Real estate syndications are typically considered illiquid investments with a hold period of 5-7 years. However, if you need to exit early, there may be limited opportunities to sell your share to another investor, though it depends on the terms of the syndication and market conditions. It's important to plan on a long-term commitment when investing in syndications.

What types of accounts can I invest through?

You can invest in Watchtower Holdings' real estate syndications through a variety of account types.

These include:

Personal funds: You can use cash, savings, or funds from your checking account.

Retirement accounts: Many investors use self-directed IRAs (SDIRAs) or solo 401(k)s to invest in real estate syndications, allowing for tax-deferred or tax-free growth.

Trusts and LLCs: You can also invest through entities such as family trusts or limited liability companies (LLCs).

Be sure to consult with your financial advisor or custodian to determine the best account type for your personal situation.
