Real Cash Flow Podcast – Episode #8
Host: Andrew Michael Arroyo
Guest: Richard Hall
In the latest episode of Real Cash Flow, host Andrew Michael Arroyo sits down with Richard Hall, a seasoned commercial real estate broker from Texas, to explore the transformative power of real estate syndication for agents and brokers.
Richard Hall, who has been a limited partner in a successful hotel syndication in Silicon Valley, shares his journey and the insights he’s gained along the way. He highlights the unique opportunities syndication offers, particularly through AARE, which allows real estate agents to become investment managers. Unlike traditional brokerages, AARE empowers agents to invest in the assets they sell, generating passive income.
Andrew underscores AARE’s commitment to educating and mentoring agents in managing investment syndications. This not only enhances agents’ financial well-being but also gives them greater control over their investments. Richard agrees, noting that syndication is a powerful tool for creating legacy income and offers significant tax benefits.
The discussion also covers practical aspects of syndication, including legal and regulatory considerations. Richard talks about his experience with different syndication offerings, such as Reg D and crowdfunding platforms like Crowdstreet. Andrew emphasizes the importance of having a strong management team, with each member playing a crucial role in the syndication process, from administration to fundraising.
One of the most intriguing topics in the episode is the potential of self-directed IRA funds in real estate syndication. Both Andrew and Richard discuss how these funds, often left idle, can be utilized to generate risk-adjusted returns in real estate investments.
The episode also highlights the benefits of having a local presence and collaborating with other managers. Andrew shares his vision for AARE’s syndication model, which involves a team of managing members, each contributing unique skills to ensure every aspect of the syndication is efficiently managed, from underwriting transactions to investor relations.
