Real Estate Crowdfunding and Syndication

About this course

Real estate syndications and crowdfunding platforms let investors pool money to buy large commercial properties without owning or managing them. This advanced course explains how a syndication works, who the general partner and limited partners are, and how profits flow through structures such as preferred returns and waterfalls. You will learn how platforms like Fundrise and CrowdStreet fit into the picture, and how SEC rules like Regulation D determine who can invest. The final module covers underwriting, sponsor evaluation, fees, and the due diligence steps that protect your capital. By the end you will know how to analyze a deal, question a private placement memorandum, and spot the warning signs before wiring any money.
