I've reviewed many syndications and have always chosen to be a direct investor. There is far more control over the investment that way. You control the timing of long term gains, have the option of equity stripping via cash out refi, preserve the option for a 1031 down the road, etc. I'm also more confident in my own due diligence than that of a syndicated offering. If you are looking for a hands off approach while preserving the direct investment advantages, evaluate a NNN property vs a syndication.
JMHO, DYODD, disclaimer, etc.
