Multi-national real estate investment partnership

[Kurt Fruchtman]

Hi everyone,

Not sure this is the right forum for such a post but ill lay it out here anyway.

My current field of employment is on a huge downtrend. Over the last 5-7 years I have partnered up with investors in the US to do 3-4 real estate transactions that have been successful, I have learned a lot about several facets of real estate investment in the process. I have also been able to network with quite a few other successful people in my field that have a lot of free capital but who lack any sort of investment savvy and have basically never invested in anything.

Basically, I am trying to figure out a way to link these investors up with deals from real estate investors in Denmark, Germany and the US that I have worked with before. Id like to start a small scale REIT that wouldn't have to be registered with the SEC since it would be under 100 investors. I am not exactly sure how I would structure this but the idea would be to offer the investors a scalable return based on the risk they are willing to incur. Then I would take a percentage of the profit to manage the fund. I find the deals and then allocate the money among them to earn the highest possible return for the fund.

The investors are from all over Europe and the US which I dont see as much of a problem as they can invest in whatever they want and then be subject to cap gains tax according to jurisdiction. However I am not sure where the business would have to be registered given the deals are in multiple countries.

Does anyone have any feedback on how such a partnership would be structured or have any experience in such a partnership?

Thanks,

Kurt
