What would you need if you are offered to invest in a syndicated ranch?

[Colter DeVries]

Due to high capital requirements, high management costs, and (nominally) "low annual yield" (unadjusted for systematic risk), Ranch Investor seeks to democratize passive ranchland-investing through tech-enabled syndication. A fun, personally-rewarding, and tangible tax-shelter. 

We have a boutique DPP giving investors exclusive opportunity to utilize the ranchland asset for recreation & hunting. Ranch Investor (the GP) through our investor-portal makes it simple to enable passive investing. For the Limited Partners who seek a more active experience on a ranchland asset, our partnership agreement and organizational structure make hunting and family-vacations easy, secure, and reliable. 

While "alternative assets" have historically been cumbersome and fee-heavy to sustain bespoke management, our back-office support ensures that portfolio-diversification and the legacy of this asset will withstand the test of time as you share and enjoy it with family and friends along the way. We value your opinion and would love to hear your thoughts on this unique opportunity.

 How do you "democratize" passive investing (???)

That is a long and deep answer that I could best summarize an answer with "technology."The cost of the back office is nolonger cost-prohibitive to syndicate ranches at a <$20,000,000 level due to white-label tech solutions.I have a philosophical/canvasing question though if you don't mind take a swing at it: is "democratizing" access to investing in ranches even a value/ideal that you think would have a larger audience?Is there demand for this from Accredited Investors to place $50,000 in a DPP as 1/80th of the Class A Units; do people want to invest in ranches passively??

 It’s your money, you’re always right.  If it’s your dream you will make it a success.

I really don’t comprehend this business model.  View it as timeshare and think consumers are past that product.  Unless you’re tied to a world wide offering.  

To me you market upward to millionaires or downwards to “Bubba”. 

Millionaires you would have posted pictures by now.  Mountain View’s, STL airstrip 15 minutes away, Montana Sapphire custom Jewelry showing,  packaged beef offering for home, etc.

“Bubba” can buy a used $30,000 RV and park at the local state lake and have a great time.  $50,000 in Montana on a timeshare they will only go once or twice.  If that market you should show ATV trail pictures, bonfire family feud night, jet ski tournament, Dutch oven chili cook off, etc.

Whoever is handling your cattle have them switch to quality versus commodity.  Depending on size of operation tell them to switch to Jersey cows covered by a low weight Waygu bull or semen.  Jersey milk calves fed out grade at the same or higher prime percentage as Black Angus. Jersey cows have the highest buttermilk content of all beef.   Leave the valve in her.  In the fall it will be a huge butterball.  Basically Veal with Waygu thrown in.  Sell 1/4 and 1/2’s for home delivery to the rich people.  Rich people want to share or show their wealth. When they have people over within”Their” Steaks, gives them a chance to tell their montana story.

Point is to develop a hard marketing story and platform.  Otherwise just find a dude ranch model and replicate it as an Airbnb.
