Best Practices for Drafting Real Estate Investment Subscription Documents

As an experienced investor, you know that real estate investments can be a great way to diversify an investment portfolio and generate passive income. But moving into managing syndications is a whole different ball game!

As you’ve no doubt realized, the backend of the syndication process has MANY moving parts, and managing them well requires organization, attention to detail, and timeliness.

In this article, you'll learn what your subscription documents should contain and how you can easily and quickly manage your capital raise, streamline your subscription documentation processes, and stay on the right side of all the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations.

Reduce the Time it Takes to Draft Your Offering Memorandum

As a syndicator, you want to make your real estate syndication-related documents simple, the delivery and execution of them fast, and for those offering documents to play a part in the positive overall investment experience for your limited partners.

In alignment with those goals, syndicators who use SponsorDocs have access to a full library (including offering memorandum, subscription agreement, and related formal agreement documents) of customizable, standardized legal documents drafted in collaboration with a leading securities attorney.

Using SponsorDocs helps you avoid the steep costs and excess time it takes to have an attorney draft custom disclosure forms, offering memorandum and subscription agreement docs for every deal. Instead, you cut right to the chase, saving you and your accredited investors time and effort. You can customize your SponsorDocs package to include the following:

• Private Placement Memorandum
• Operating Agreement
• Subscription Agreement
• Investor Questionnaire
• Best Practices Guide
• Attorney Review within two business days

All documents are regularly updated to comply with State and Federal laws, so you can be confident that the syndication documents for every deal you do are completely compliant with current SEC regulations. 

Simple, Up-to-Date, and Reliably in Compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Requirements

Undoubtedly, investing in real estate can help you make huge leaps in achieving financial stability and independence. However, there can also be a number of challenges to overcome as a syndicator - namely, putting the right processes in place so you’re not working on documentation and financial statements around the clock.

You've learned by now that there's no benefit to struggling alone through any part of the business-building process. You've relied on mentors, coaches, and perhaps AI or some software to help propel you to this level. Now, you're charged with using your resources (mainly your time and energy) to accelerate your syndication business toward proficiency.

Fortunately, SponsorDocs leverages dedicated technology, functional syndication knowledge, and collaborations with leading syndication attorneys to ensure your request for syndication documents is more efficient, less costly, and easier than getting your own customized documentation drafted for every deal.

Here's how ordering your syndication documents works:

1) Fill out a form about your deal type, structure, and business plan

2) Within 2 business days, you'll have a syndication legal document package and a call with one of our legal partners to review everything with you

It really IS that simple! Of course, you and your attorney can review and tailor the documents. The primary takeaway is that drafting the offering memorandum and other business plan docs doesn't have to be hard or time-intensive or cost more than $50,000 any longer.

Using SponsorDocs ensures you're in compliance with the securities industry requirements and efficiently delivers you the documents you need so you can execute your deal swiftly.

So how can you use standardized documents to ensure you deliver information to your prospective investors smoothly, professionally, and on time?

Key Components of a SponsorDocs Subscription Agreement

The subscription agreement is part of the SponsorDocs package and is a specially designed legal document outlining the terms of the investment you offer an accredited investor. 

Each subscription agreement for a real estate syndication deal should include:

• A complete description of the security offered
• The terms of the agreement
• Capital structure and any historical context of the financial projections
• A description of the business plan
• Summary biographies of the management team
• Risk factors associated with contributing capital

Tailoring the Private Placement Memorandum for Your Organization

A Private Placement Memorandum (PPM), or an Offering Memorandum (OM), is a legal document used by businesses raising capital through private placements or securities transactions. Your private placement offering should give your potential investors all the key information about the investment opportunity, including any risk factors, so they can decide whether it’s right for them.
