We run investor relations in house with our company - so I believe this adds another level of transparency when communicating with investors.

I speak for many on here that i value straight forward info and transparency.

It all comes down to one thing: transparency.

Structuring the Deal: For this large of a deal and any deal in general, transparency is key.

Being completely transparent - any CPA can use tax / legal jargon to make a “great sounding sales pitch”, but if their firm has a reputation of low-quality client service and higher than market CPA fees, it’s likely not a fit.

To be transparent, there is not 100% full proof way of preventing fraud.

I would acknowledge the price has been attractive and there has been no escalation in costs so far, however long wait times even after permitting is completed coupled with lack of transparent communication and doesn’t provide much confidence to investors.  

If you think about it in any industry less transparency and more friction in the transaction will increase fees/commission vs reducing them.I like the idea as an investor of having different agents, a team of agents maybe 3-4 bringing me deals, but I think less of that will happen now as all will have to have you sign some kind of agreement up front. 

Kind of a pain and also both less transparent and less efficient than before, but not drastically different. 

NOTE: I did speak to an ODC rep. today about Fund Exits and i will say he was very transparent and honest about the state of all the funds.
