    Avoid These Syndication Mistakes with Tilden Moschetti, Ep. 680

    Tilden Moschetti, Esq. is a syndication attorney that focuses exclusively on Regulation D offerings for real estate syndicators, business owners, entrepreneurs, and private equity funds. Tilden is a highly regarded expert in syndication as an attorney, a syndication coach, General Counsel to two private equity funds, and an active syndicator himself. He has been featured on NPR, NBC News, People Magazine, the National Law Journal, the San Francisco Chronicle, and the Los Angeles Business Journal. A fundamental difference between Tilden and other attorneys is that Tilden came to the practice of syndication law as a syndicator of his own deals first. Tilden’s practice as a real estate attorney changed gears when a partner showed him a deal and asked him if they could syndicate that deal together. Both investors and Tilden made a great return, so he kept syndicating. As his successes grew doing deals, 9 years ago he refocused his firm away from real estate law, to syndication law exclusively.   In this episode, we talked to Tilden about syndications, its differences with joint ventures, common mistakes made by syndicators, vetting syndication attorneys, tips for new passive investors, syndication partners, and much more.   Get ready for REWBCON 2025, happening from April 10th - 12th!
