@Amy Wan specifically the security tokens. I've heard mention of the before, and as I understand they're still fairly cutting-edge. Do you know of any good thought leaders/ blogs/ podcasts about them that I should follow?

@Amy Wan that’s very interesting. Who can I follow or what can I read to learn more about that?

@Eamonn McElroy thanks for your thoughts. I'm just wondering if there's anything in between publicly traded REIT and 5-7 yr lockup private syndication. Is this where crowdfunding comes in?

@Lance Lvovsky @Alina Trigub @Theo Hicks thanks for you comments. Here's my thought, at its core: If an LP was looking at two otherwise similar syndication opportunities, but one was easier to liquidate, wouldn't the LP choose the more liquid PPM every time?

@Justin Kane what does a full-time promoter look like? Planning live events? Making sales calls? Hosting webinars? How could somebody turn your need into a business that can serve many businesses like yours?

@Jake S. thanks for your thoughts here. By monthly/weekly asset management, what do you mean exactly?

If you could start a company to solve 1 main problem in the real estate investing world (but not actually invest in real estate itself), what company would you build?

@Jay Hinrichs

Thanks, I appreciate this discussion. To go a bit further—

I understand why the GP would usually be unable to just buy back shares anytime due to lack of capital in the first place.

But what if the LP could sell to another person outside the partnership? Does that start to get into SEC type issues, or just a risk where the GP wants to be able to vet all the investors in their deal? What if the LP had option to sell to a third party with the GP’s approval?

@Jay Hinrichs

If there were a General Partner that offered some form of liquidity to LPs, wouldn’t that make their deal comparatively more attractive than other syndication?

What are the legal and/or business reasons that the GPs do not want liquidity for their LPs?
