Beyond Real Estate Syndication Companies: Invest with Trust
Earn consistent passive income from real estate secured investments—while partnering with a fund rooted in biblical stewardship.

If you're exploring real estate investment opportunities, you might be weighing the options between Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and real estate syndications. While both offer access to real estate markets, they differ significantly in structure, control, and returns.

Understanding Real Estate Syndications vs. REITs
Pain Point: REITs offer liquidity but lack direct ownership and often underperform on returns.
REITs are companies that own and operate income-producing real estate, such as apartments, shopping malls, and hotels. Investors can buy shares of REITs on public stock exchanges, making them highly liquid. However, investing in REITs doesn't grant you actual ownership of the properties. Instead, you're investing in the company that manages these assets. REITs are required to distribute at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders, often resulting in regular dividends.
Solution: Real estate syndications provide a path to direct ownership, greater returns, and tax benefits.
Real estate syndications, on the other hand, involve pooling funds from multiple investors to purchase and manage a specific property or portfolio. As a passive investor in a syndication, you become a fractional owner of the actual property, sharing in both the income it generates and any appreciation in value. Syndications are typically less liquid than REITs, as your investment is tied to the property's holding period, but they often offer higher potential returns and more direct tax benefits.
The Role of an Offering Memorandum
Pain Point: Lack of clarity and transparency in many real estate deals.
An Offering Memorandum (OM) is a comprehensive document provided to potential investors in a real estate syndication. It outlines critical details about the investment opportunity, including:
Property Information: Location, type, and current condition.
Market Analysis: Economic indicators and trends affecting the property's value.
Financial Projections: Expected income, expenses, and return on investment.
Investment Structure: Details on how profits and losses will be distributed among investors.
Risks and Disclosures: Potential challenges and legal considerations.
Solution: The OM ensures investors are fully informed before committing capital.
How Real Estate Syndications Work
Pain Point: Investors often feel disconnected or unclear about their role in syndication deals.
In a real estate syndication, there are typically two key roles:
General Partner (GP): Also known as the sponsor, the GP is responsible for identifying the investment opportunity, securing financing, managing the property, and executing the business plan.
Limited Partners (LPs): These are the passive investors who contribute capital to the deal. LPs have limited liability and are not involved in day-to-day operations.
Solution: Defined roles and agreements protect passive investors while empowering GPs to execute strategy.
In our fund, you are as a limited partner with full transparency and monthly reporting.

Comparing Syndication Structures
To help you visualize how different investment options compare, here’s a clear side-by-side chart that outlines the distinctions between traditional REITs, Syndications, and Blue Bay Fund I.
This chart helps investors quickly assess differences in ownership, returns, investment horizons, and minimum investment levels.
Syndication Real Estate Companies
Pain Point: Investors are often confused by profit distribution models.
Real estate syndications can be structured in various ways, affecting how profits are distributed:
Straight Split: Profits are divided between the GP and LPs based on a predetermined ratio, such as 70/30.
Preferred Return: LPs receive a specified return on their investment before the GP earns any profits.
Waterfall Structure: Multiple tiers of profit distribution reward performance and align incentives.
Solution: Transparent structures allow investors to understand when and how they’ll be paid.

Advantages of Investing in Real Estate Syndications
Direct Ownership: Gain fractional ownership of the actual property—not just shares in a company.
Potential for Higher Returns: Target value-add properties that often outperform diversified REIT portfolios.
Tax Benefits: Benefit from depreciation and other real estate-specific deductions.
Customization: Choose investments that match your personal risk tolerance, timeline, and values.
These features give investors greater control, potential, and personalization than public real estate vehicles.
