I'm assuming you either need major collateral, major assets at the bank, or doing millions+ in revenue (like Apple or Microsoft).  

The commercial paper is unregulated as it relates to the new rules and laws apples and oranges and probably not a good example that I mentioned that led the OP to think if it works there its got to work here@Carolyn Morales  also take podcast with a  grain of salt... this are blue sky feel good Macro talks do not take them vertabim..

If you lay two illustrations side by side, with apples-to-apples assumptions, they will be virtually identical.

As for the original question, DST v 506(b), this is like comparing apples to oranges.

The "average" S&P rate isn't compariable in my mind to real estate since its still not apples to apples --- you don't purchase properties across the entire real estate sector, you pick and choose. 

You'd want to have higher growth, dividend paying stocks (like Apple) that pay a low dividend along side of slow growth, high dividend paying companies (like AT&T).

Your seller may be exempt from new laws, since you are a dealer, not an owner, you may not have the same exemptions.Financing real estate is a very big deal, if you were doing this selling a bag of apples it might be a good idea, those that don't understand RE financing should stay clear of dreaming up things, Do some reading, much has been written here about CFDs and other methods, the CFD is the worst way now, I suggest you not go there like that. :)

But let's make sure we're talking apples to apples here.

@Chingju Hu - You are comparing oranges with apples.

I agree that comparing my examples may be too simplistic and not close enough to apples to apples.
