To be considered as an accredited investor, you must meet one of the following two criteria:

OR
- Have either an annual income of $200,000 per year or an annual combined income of $300,000 (together with your spouse).
Additionally, you must have maintained this net worth or these annual income amounts for the past two years and intend to continue doing so over the coming year.

What markets does Spark invest in?
When evaluating investment opportunities, we focus on growing markets with strong job and population growth indicators and rising job diversity. These factors allow us to benefit from increased rental demand and market appreciation.
Are multifamily syndications recession resilient?
At Spark Investment Group, we invest in high-quality A and B Class apartment communities located in great neighborhoods. Investments in this asset class tend to be lower risk because the tenants are more financially secure.
This investment strategy ensures that occupancy and Net Operating Income (NOI) will remain high even during a recession, mitigating risk and protecting your investment.
Will my investment be safe?
While there are no guarantees with any investment, to protect your capital we ensure that every deal has plenty of reserves, ample buffer, and multiple exit strategies in place.
What are the tax advantages of investing in syndications?
As a real estate syndication investor, you’ll gain the tax benefits of property ownership, including accelerated depreciation and cost segregation, which can help lower the taxable passive income you receive.
Each year, you’ll receive a Schedule K-1 tax form to include with your tax filings. This form reports your income and losses for the investment.
If you happen to be a real estate professional, you may be able to apply these paper losses to your ordinary income as well. Again, please consult with your CPA for details related to your specific financial situation.
