Several investors pool their money to buy an apartment building that would be hard to buy alone.

CCI finds the property, checks the numbers, arranges the loan, hires the property manager, carries out the plan, and keeps investors updated. Investors put in money and take part in the results, without dealing with tenants or day-to-day operations.

In the industry, this is called a syndication.

Buildings this size are big enough to support professional property management, but often too small for the large institutional buyers. That leaves more room to find good opportunities.

We look for buildings that aren't living up to their potential. Improvements can include better management, cutting unnecessary expenses, needed repairs, updated units, or better amenities for residents.

In the industry, this is called value-add.

The specific minimum will be disclosed before an investor makes any commitment.

Multifamily investments are generally long-term and illiquid.

All real estate investing involves risk, including the possible loss of some or all invested capital.

Any projected returns are estimates based on assumptions and should never be interpreted as guarantees.

Risks can include changes in property values, occupancy, rents, operating expenses, interest rates, financing conditions, insurance costs, property taxes, local economic conditions, construction costs, and the ability to refinance or sell a property.

Specific risks will be disclosed in the offering documents for each investment.

However, every investor's circumstances are different.

The exact tax structure and reporting requirements will depend on the specific investment.
