If you are interested in stimulating and informative discussions with professionals as well as ladies just getting started, leave a comment below to let me know what you think.

Federal legislative policy (meddling) with a free market and the Federal Reserve Bank (which isn't Federal nor a real 'bank') with their interest rate manipulations are the two biggest factors affecting housing.The Fed cannot decrease interest rates any time soon to further stimulate the virus-stricken economy, (unless we go to negative interest) so their only weapon left is creating money out of thin air.  

The SEC does proactively pursue things as well, so that is a possibility.Syndicated investments will frequently use LLCs with different share classes for the GPs vs LPs. 

A very common structure is for you (the general partner or GP) to offer your investors (limited partners or LPs) a fixed annualized non compounding preferred return of say 8% of the investors invested capital.

The city has to ultimately try to stimulate the market to be more active which is always a significant challenge. 

So, if the LPs get 80% of the total profits, they have 80% of the equity currently in the deal.The calculation is much harder when you are in a deal with a waterfall return scheme that may included preferred returns, returns up to some IRR, a different split above that, and of course, you would have to pay attention to all fees the syndicator is charging, which can bee substantial.  

In a simple case, the LPs each get $7.5k or a 7.5% return -- just above a typical preferred return.

AND it would create jobs, stimulating economy yada yada yada.

Very useful input @Scott Mac on the difference between 80 LPs @ $50k and 4 at @ $1MM.My bigger vision is to get to a place with back office overheads, internal cash flows, and technology that would allow passive ranch investing to be available for as low as $500/ea for retail, non accredited investors.That is the democratization aspect and the vision/values vs execution dilemma I face when testing at $50,000 vs $1,000,000.Due to the registration being much cheaper, I must go the route of accredited investors only, for now.My subjective, populist, nationalist, rural Montana beliefs deep down in my bones that still emotionally and personally influence my decision-making-bias is that what we have in Montana is 1-special, 2-should be shared without being too commercialized and gentrified, and 3-is quickly being lost.With ranches as we all know, and I fully accept, becoming only for the UHNW, part of my core-motivation and driving belief is that technology (online syndication) should present an opportunity in the marketplace to bring in more of the "Average American" to participate, appreciate, and benefit from this asset; not just for it's historical performance, but for its actual tangible benefits (the feels).Pride in ownership, sense of place, vesting/shared interest in ecology, community, and food production.First it must be an asset though, one that makes sense in someone's diversified portfolio.

Why is it that anytime something bad happens, there is fraud, or some other nefarious situation that there is a renewed call for the gov-mint to protect LPs from being able to take additional risk in search of additional reward from their investments?
