The Moonlight Real Estate Side Hustles and Syndications Show

The Benefits of Working with an Investor-Friendly Syndication Attorney with Richard Crouch ⚖️🏢

Eric Lindsey Season 1 Episode 165


📌 For the past two decades, Richard Crouch has been the quiet deal architect behind complex real-estate syndications—guiding sponsors through subject-to assumptions, seller-financed seconds, and multi-tier equity waterfalls. He then applied the same playbook to build his own real-estate portfolio. If you want a clear, step-by-step view of how a transaction is papered, funded, and closed, Richard’s checklist is the shortcut. 🛠️


🔍 Transaction Discussed 🚀📈
• Creative Capital Stack: Acquired a 300-unit multifamily for $13.5 M using subject-to financing plus a seller note.
• Nine-Month Turnaround: Leasing & ops team boosted NOI, enabling a $50 M refinance.
• Investor Buy-Out Clause: After doubling returns in < 24 months, investors exited for $1 each—Richard retained 100 % ownership.
• 2025 Market Reality: Higher rates ⇒ 50 % LTV loans & larger self-funded equity checks.
