Too many smart investors miss out on real estate investing because they don't want to deal with the hassles of being a landlord. 

They often hesitate because:
> They don’t have the time or patience to manage properties.
> They don’t want the stress of dealing with tenants, toilets, or termites.
> They’re unsure how to find profitable, low-risk opportunities.

Apartments are no longer about building boring boxes

Each unit inside our latest project, The Elwood, will have:

• Quartz countertops
• Stainless steel appliances
• Private balcony or patio 
• Smart locks & thermostats
• Full size washer & dryer
• Tile backsplash 
• Modern black windows

Amenities include: 

• Luxury rooftop patio
• Pet spa

• Indoor/outdoor cafe 
• Game area
• Work-from-home area
• Plaza area in front of retail space

The Elwood will be the premier place to live within the city and we are proud to be apart of this transformational community!

Most syndicators won’t touch construction

1 year of planning 
2 years of construction 
1 more year to lease up 

It's too complex.
It takes too long. 
It has too many moving parts.

This is exactly what I love about development: 
LESS competition 

Not many companies are willing to put in a huge amount of work upfront and wait years for the real upside...

This is where you find the real opportunity 💪

I had a call with a potential investor who thought preferred return = cash on cash return

I had to explain these are not the same thing...

7% preferred return DOES NOT mean you receive 7% annually.

The preferred return alludes to the precedence of limited partners receiving a specified return, BEFORE the general partners share in the profits.

A preferred return (Pref) is not a guarantee or claim that you will get X% in any given year.

How much (or how little) the project cash flows, will determine what you receive on a quarterly basis.

Pref and cash flow distributions are 2 completely different things. 

Did you know this before reading?

When I first started investing in real estate, I assumed the best opportunities had to be in the “hottest” markets.

The ones everyone talks about. 
The ones making the headlines.

Like Florida, Texas, or Arizona.

Boy, was I wrong.

After underwriting deals across multiple states and spending years investing here at home, one thing became clear:
Indiana quietly does a lot of things right.

And for passive investors, especially those who care about stability, predictability, and long-term wealth, that matters more than hype.

Let’s walk through why Indiana deserves serious consideration.

Why Indiana Is One of the Best States for Passive Real Estate Syndication Investors

Raising capital is never easy.
And it’s never something I take for granted.

Every commitment an investor makes is built on trust.

That trust is earned over time, through transparency, communication, and execution.

All investing involves risk.

But when you choose
• the right operators
• the right deals
• and the right markets

that risk is significantly reduced.

One thing I appreciate about Invest Clearly is the transparency it brings to our industry.

It’s a place where investors can read real, VERIFIED reviews from people who actually invested with a company.

I'm grateful for my investors who took the time to leave feedback and look forward to growing on this platform! Check out Invest Clearly if you haven't already.

Do you think this will be a great addition to downtown?

I almost quit
(on more than one occasion)

I was putting in a ton of work and still felt like NOTHING was working for me with real estate.

There were many years in my life where I was working full time AND going to college full time. 

My calendar was packed. My energy was drained. 

I barely had time to do anything fun, let alone slow down and enjoy life. Every week felt like survival mode.

At the same time, I was trying to build something better.

- I was looking for multifamily deals.
- Learning the process.
- Trying to understand how this business actually worked.

Every spare minute went to YouTube, podcasts, and books.

Early mornings. Late nights. Lunch breaks with headphones in. 

But I never saw any progress...

It felt like I was WASTING time.
❌ So I almost quit many times. 
❌ Almost went back to house flipping. 
❌ Almost switched to just buying businesses. 
❌ Almost switched to buying storage facilities. 

But I was wrong. 

✅ In reality, progress was happening slowly over time. 

Day by day it didn’t look like much. 
Week by week it felt invisible.
But month by month and year by year, you make progress. 

Most people quit right before their big breakthrough!

If you feel like you're stuck in a rut right now and not making any progress...this is your sign to keep going! 🚀

Returns work different in a typical development deal:

When you invest in ground-up construction, there’s no cash flow for the first year or so. 

Because the project isn’t stabilized yet.

So how do investors get paid?

Let’s break it down:

• Preferred Return:
> This is your “priority” return before the sponsor makes a dime.
> It accrues during construction.

• Return of Capital:
> Once the project sells, your principal is returned back to you.

• Profit Split:
> After your preferred return and capital is paid, the profits get split.
> Usually 70% to investors / 30% to the sponsor.

Example:
• You invest $50,000.
• No cash flow year 1.
• Small distribution year 2 as things stabilize.
• Pref is caught up at sale.
• Return of capital ($50k).
• Profits are split in year 3 at sale.

You end up receiving $85,782 when it's all said and done.

That’s a 1.72x equity multiple (you turned $50K into $85,782)

Which equals a 20% IRR over 3 years.

This is typically how most syndication returns are structured for a ground-up deal, but the numbers are just for an example.

‘’Big” doesn’t mean better in multifamily.

Smart investors look for quality, not just quantity.

Here’s what makes a deal truly top-tier:

✅ Scale = Efficiency
 More units = lower cost per door = stronger margins.

✅ Fully Integrated Operations
Operators who handle acquisition, construction, leasing, and management reduce execution risk.

✅ Cash Flow + Value Growth
Steady income with upside from renovations and operational improvements.

✅ Data-Driven Risk Management
In-depth underwriting to identify risks early—so you don’t have to worry later.

At Sondhi Capital, we vet every deal for our investors.

Risk management is our foundation—and every deal is negotiated to offer better terms and stronger returns.

The hardest part of being an entrepreneur isn’t the work—
it’s your mindset.

Here’s how I 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭 as an entrepreneur.

A few years ago, I was hustling 15-hour days to build my real estate business in a new country. 

Burnout hit hard—my health and relationships suffered, and every setback felt like failure.

The root cause? 𝐌𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭—fear of failure and constant comparison.

What changed everything:

1️⃣ Celebrating small wins. 
2️⃣ Setting small, achievable goals. 
3️⃣ Starting each day with gratitude. 
4️⃣ Leaning on mentors and positive peers.
5️⃣ Prioritizing "me time" through meditation and reading. 

This mindset shift took me from survival mode to thriving—closing deals, building relationships, and enjoying the process.

✅ Mindset is everything. 

What’s one habit or mindset shift that’s helped you thrive during tough times? Let’s share ideas below!

I tell investors exactly how I get paid—

and that’s why they stay.

Imposter syndrome whispered:
“Who are you to charge this much?”

For a long time, I listened.

But then I realized something—
𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐭.

My #1 value? 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲.

I never hide:

• How do I make money
• How I negotiate better terms for investors
• How the totals really look

At Sondhi Capital, transparency isn’t marketing.
It’s the ethos.
It’s how trust is built.

And when I leaned into that—
Fees stopped being a confession.
They became proof of value.

Investors don’t just “accept” my fees now.
They respect them.

Your values can turn imposter syndrome into confidence.
Mine did.

What’s the one value you’ll never compromise on in business?

For most of my 20s and early 30s, I thought I was behind.

I moved countries — India to the U.S.
Chased opportunity.
𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞.

→ Event management gigs in college.
→ Working in my family business. 
→ A startup that taught me humility.
→ An MBA to reset direction.
→ Years as a real estate broker.
→ Now, building as a fund manager.

At the time, it felt scattered.
Like I was constantly restarting.

But at 37, I see it clearly.

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲.

✅ Resilience from starting over
✅ Discipline from family business
✅ Humility from startups
✅ Structure from my MBA
✅ Market instincts and 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩-𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 from brokerage
✅ Capital allocation and 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 from fund management

Nothing was wasted.
Nothing was random.

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫.

If you’re questioning your path right now — remember this:

𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝.
𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠.

And what you’re doing today
is quietly shaping tomorrow.

Most bad real estate losses don’t come from bad luck.
They come from ignoring a simple filter.

I use the same 3 questions on every deal — and I walk the moment one fails.

No debate. No exceptions.

This discipline has mattered far more than chasing upside.

The video breaks it down.

You could be analyzing the numbers perfectly.
But if you’re not in the right room,
You’ll never see the best deal.

Returns don’t come from spreadsheets.
They come from 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬.

And access isn’t luck — it’s earned.

𝐁𝐲 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨:

✅ Deliver capital before closing
✅ Run deep due diligence
✅ Follow a proven system
✅ Build trust with top operators

In private investing, the real money is made before the deal —
When you’re in early, with the right team.

What builds trust for you in a fund manager or GP? I'd love to hear from you.

Most 401(k)s and IRAs are invested in a very narrow set of options.

That’s the problem.

What if your retirement capital could generate real cash flow—not just long-term projections?

On February 5 at 4 PM EST, I’m hosting a live webinar on how investors are using 401(k) and IRA capital to access cash-flowing multifamily real estate—the right way.

I’ll be joined by Andrea Chacín, CISP a Self-Directed IRA specialist who helps investors structure retirement accounts for real estate and private equity.

We’ll cover:

 • Why traditional retirement portfolios are often overconcentrated
 • How SDIRAs actually work (and what to avoid)
 • Where multifamily real estate fits into a long-term retirement strategy

Retirement accounts shouldn’t sit idle for decades.

They should work.

Owning real estate can be the best investment — 
Or the biggest time-suck.

Ever handled a leaking roof from 8,000 miles away?

Or chased a tenant who’s 3 weeks late on rent?

If you’re chasing 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 through active property management…

You’re doing it the hard way.

Here’s the smarter path:

At 𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐡𝐢 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥, we:

 ✅ Rigorously vet each deal through due diligence
 ✅ Negotiate better waterfall structures for investors
 ✅ Partner only with top-tier operators
 ✅ Handle asset management end-to-end

You get:

✔️ Monthly cash flow
✔️ Depreciation tax benefits
✔️ Long-term appreciation
✔️ Institutional-level reporting and access

No tenants.
No 2 a.m. calls.
No guesswork.

𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡—𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞.

And with the right partner, passive income finally lives up to its name.

📩 DM me to see how we turn active chaos into hands-free returns.

(Not an offer to buy or sell securities. For educational purposes only.)

Losing money hurts. 
Especially when you weren’t the one calling the shots.

Passive investing sounds great… until a “passive” deal goes south.

I’ve heard this more times than I can count:

“I trusted someone, wired the money, and then the updates stopped.”

Here’s how my investors protect themselves — even if they’ve been burned before:

1. 𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬.

High returns mean nothing if there’s no real operator or strategy behind them.
A boring deal with a clear plan usually wins.

2. 𝐕𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡.

I don’t just show pro formas — I show people.
Track records, downside protection, and skin in the game all matter more than hype.

3. 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬.

Trust grows when the fund manager has a consistent system, not one-off wins.
Every deal I bring follows the same tight playbook.

𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡:

✅ Being “passive” doesn’t mean being blind. It means trusting a structure that protects you.

**What’s one lesson you learned from a past investing mistake?**👇

‘’My calendar is full, so real estate investing always gets pushed to later.”

That’s not a discipline problem.
It’s a time problem.

Busy professionals don’t need more ideas — they need 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞.

That’s where 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 comes in.

→ Deep due diligence done for you
→ Access institutional-quality deals
→ Invest alongside a trusted fund manager
→ No tenants. No management. No extra job.

Your capital works quietly in the background
while you focus on your career, family, and life.

You don’t build wealth by finding more hours.
You build it by partnering with people who work on your behalf.

↳ That’s how busy professionals invest without falling behind.
