I’ve just returned to the US from nearly a month travelling in Central America. After surviving five earthquakes and one volcano eruption, I’m safely back at home getting caught up on all of my real estate updates for you. I have several videos coming soon for you which will show you some of my adventures in Costa Rica, including their idea of roads, and off-grid resort properties. Fun stuff.
This week, I’ve posted a new video which was recorded just before I left. If you have ever raised private funds for your real estate deals or have thought about it, you’ve got to see this! After years of talking to different attorneys about SEC rules versus state rules, when is an investment a security versus when is it not, and receiving different answers, I decided to go right to the source. Rather than getting someone’s opinion this time, I interviewed the Securities Fraud Investigator from the Attorney General’s Office! Yep, he’s the guy with handcuffs that goes to arrest folks that have committed securities fraud. The video is short, but I can guarantee that you won’t see anything like this again. Check it out on this page now: http://cmyatesnews.com
If you are using private funds and are pretty sure that you are doing it properly, you might want to go watch this now anyway. You might be suprised how easy it is to get into trouble, but also relieved to know that they are only a few simple things you need to do in order to raise a lot of private money legally in most states.
I will soon release some great video of me answering your questions, recorded in Costa Rica, as well as the much-anticipated announcement of my advanced private money home study course. Stay tuned!
To Your Success,
Chris Yates
