Many developers ride a fine line between legal and illegal selling of investment products and services. The interpretation and application of securities laws, both state and federal, for real estate developers is treacherous at best.

 

If you or your employees or agents raise private equity under Regulation D and engage in any of the following activities:

        1. Raising of investor dollars more than once in a 12 month time frame

        2. Negotiations of real estate investment contracts

        3. Solicitation of investors

        4. Discussions or recommendations regarding securities investments

        5. Compensated on a transactional basis

        6. Involved in prior sales of securities

 

These are the possible consequences:

        1. Monetary fines from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands of dollars

        2. Investor rescission, return of investment plus interest

        3. Permanent prevention of the person from ever selling investments in the

            future

        4. Imposition of civil and criminal penalties

 

As a developer raising private equity, you have an ever increasing list of rules and regulations to follow. You may not be aware of all of the legalities of qualifying investor, proper fund raising, issuance of investment contracts, the number of allowable offerings per 12 month period, or the proper protocol for selling securities.
