I’m looking for some guidance on a real estate investment model that’s new to me, and I’d really value inputs from this group.

A known contact (early-stage developer) is planning a residential apartment project in North Bangalore in the airport corridor and is inviting around 20–25 individuals to join as investment partners in an LLP structure. He and the architect would be the proprietors.The idea is that investors contribute a fixed amount upfront, become partners in the LLP during the project lifecycle, and upon completion, each investor receives a residential unit (3BHK). The partnership is expected to end once the unit is registered in the investor’s name.

Key points shared:

1.Land is yet to be finalized (currently in discussion stage).

2.Approvals and construction will follow (estimated ~3–4 years total timeline).

3.Investors are being offered units at a significant discount (50%) compared to expected market price.

This structure is quite different from a typical under-construction purchase, since investors are effectively partners in the LLP until completion.

I am reluctant to have a few concerns around:

1.How financial risk or potential losses are typically handled for investor partners in an LLP structure like this, especially when the contribution is presented as fixed.

2.Exit options if the project is delayed or does not proceed as planned.

3.Risk exposure since the project is at a very early stage (land not yet finalized).

4 Governance/decision-making with multiple investor partners

At the same time, I can see why the discounted entry is attractive and there is some interest within my family to explore it further.

Would really appreciate perspectives from those who have:

1. Invested in similar LLP / group real estate models and is it worth taking this high risk?.

2. Legal or financial understanding of such structures.

3. Suggestions on what due diligence or safeguards are essential before considering this.

Would this be considered too risky given early stage + no liquidity?

Thanks in advance for your guidance.
