Frequently Asked Questions

How do I contact Symphony Capital Group (SCG)?

You can email us directly at invest@symphonycapitalgroup.com or schedule a call with a team member.

How do I get started as an investor with SCG?

Click "Ready to Invest?" at the menu bar to get started. You will be prompted to create an account online. SCG provides an online portal for viewing, investing, and tracking your future investments. If you are seeking to invest more than $250,000 or seeking to place more than $1,000,000 via 1031 exchange, you can also schedule a call with one of our investor relations specialists.

Am I an accredited investor?

According to the Security and Exchange Commission, an accredited investor, in the context of a natural person, includes anyone who:

Has earned income that exceeded $200,000 (or $300,000 together with a spouse) in each of the prior two years, and reasonably expects the same for the current calendar year, OR
Has a net worth over $1 million, either alone or together with a spouse or spousal equivalent (excluding the value of the person’s primary residence), OR
Holds good standing a Series 7, 65 or 82 license

Do you offer investment opportunities for non-accredited investors?

SCG does on occasion provide investment opportunities for non-accredited investors who qualify as sophisticated investors. Prior existing relationships must also be established. In order to qualify, please click the get started button above and complete an on-boarding phone call with someone on our investor relations team. It’s very important you complete the phone call so your account can be verified.

What type of accounts can I invest through?

SCG provides the opportunity for several types of entities or accounts when investing. The most common are as an individual or through a retirement account such as a self-self-directed IRA. However, you can also invest jointly, through an LLC (limited liability company), Corporation, Partnership, 401k, 1031, or Trust.

What type of tax documents will I receive?

You will receive a Form K-1. A Form K-1 is a tax form used by partnerships to provide investors with detailed information on their share of a partnership’s taxable income. We seek to finalize all Form K-1s annually by March 31st, however, we do rely on outside reporting and may require additional time to furnish the forms in a way that is to the investor’s best advantage. Accordingly, you may be required to obtain one or more extensions for filing federal, state and local tax returns, but that is not our intention.

Do you accept 1031 exchanges?

On a case by case basis, SCG will accept a 1031 investment from an outside party. The minimum investment is $1,000,000. Please schedule a call with an investor relations specialist if you are considering investing with us via 1031.

Do the principles invest their own money into the deal?

Yes! SCG believes in building wealth alongside its investors. The sponsors seek to invest anywhere from 5-10% of the equity needed in every deal. They reserve the right to invest more than 10% or less if liquidity purposes are needed to secure future deals.

What type of investment returns should I expect?

Returns can vary depending on the type of project you are investing in. For a stabilized, income-producing property, SCG targets low to mid teen returns on an annualized basis over the life of the investment property. For properties that require a more significant reposition or value-add plan, you may expect returns to be higher. SCG may also provide investors with a preferred return. This provides investors with a likely outcome of outperforming the market with the benefit of a larger upside upon sale.

What are the risks involved?

All investments involve risk! SCG does not guarantee that you will earn the targeted return. There are many factors that can impact the performance of your investment, many of which are outside the control of SCG and its partners. Please note, investing involves risks and may result in partial or total loss of your investment.

Can I invest through my IRA?

Yes, SCG does allow investing through a self-directed IRA account, or a 401K from a previous employer. Check with your custodian to see if they allow you to self-direct your retirement account. If they do not allow you to self-direct, please email us at invest@symphonycapitalgroup.com and we will introduce you to our preferred vendors that will allow you to invest in alternative assets using your retirement funds.

What proof of ownership do I receive after I invest?

Every investor completes a legally binding subscription document that is countersigned by the principals of SCG. You will also receive a K-1 statement before tax season every year. You also are provided access to our online portal for tracking your distributions.

What type of reporting can I expect?

SCG provides monthly reporting on the property interior and exterior improvements and occupancy levels during the renovation or stabilization of projects. Upon stabilization, you can expect quarterly and annual updates and financial statements.
