b'There are four kinds of people who dont follow securities laws when raising money from private investors; 1) those who dont know; 2) those who dont care; 3) those who are in denial, and 4) those who are in jail. If you dont want to be among them, please continue reading this book.What Isnt a Securities Offering? This book is not about finding institutional lenders, such as banks, credit unions or even hard money lenders (people who are in the business of loaning money) to loan you money. However, these sources of funding should always be explored first, as they may be the cheapest source of financing, with the lowest interest rates and longest terms. Getting cheap money from these sources for part of the funds needed will allow you to raise less from private investors, and to leverage their returns. For a great referenceguidetoobtaininginstitutionalfinancingforcommercialreal estate, read the book Borrow Smart, Learn the Not So Secret Weapons of Commercial Real Estate Investors by my good friend and trusted advisor, Eric Stewart of Atlantic Investment Capital.
